This is a much better approach. I was talking with Mark Weaver on IRC
earlier, and he said you had no volunteers for TAR and so was trying his
hand at it. I had volunteered for that previously, and assumed you had
picked someone else based on the method in your original
email. Apparently not.

I started hacking together a Jinja-style templating library before[0],
but I never released it since it's kinda less nice than just using
quasiquote/sxml in practice.

I guess I could do this for you, maybe as a warmup for [1], but I think
I'd be mortified if someone ended up using it.
