Thanks God and Sublime Text for allowing me to interactively construct this regex and save hours of mindless drudgery replacing $this.stuff and ${that_stuff} with all of {{ this_stuff.here }}. Without your quick feedback this would not have been possible for me to do so quickly.

Oops what about ${ this_there } !
