Or some other magic such as the use of a prefix/suffix. For example, you
could set a director like

percent:
driver = smartuser
suffix = %pager
new_address = some-lookup-string-to-munge-the-address

which would handle mail to xxxx%pager@???, and something simple
like

new_address = $local_part@pager

would do exactly the transformation that the %-hack does.
