Rewrite contexts before evaluating them (#287)

* Rewrite contexts before evaluating them

* Precompile context and expression patterns

* Test trim before rewrite

The current contextPattern is quite constraining and would fail the
rewrite of a context with trailing spaces. Triming happens during the
execution of Interpolate, and these tests aim to detect future breaking
changes on this behavior.
