[stringtemplate-interest] Variables in Template Parameters

[Brain, Jim]

Is there a way to allow $getter$, which is passed "get$name$()" to expand $name$ to "Name"?

import org.antlr.stringtemplate.*;
public class STTest {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
            StringTemplateGroup stg = new StringTemplateGroup("Source");
            stg.defineTemplate("reader","$type$.$getter$");
            StringTemplateGroup stg2 = new StringTemplateGroup("Class");
            stg2.setSuperGroup(stg);
            StringTemplate st = stg2.defineTemplate("prop","$reader(getter=\"get$name$()\")$");
            st.setAttribute("name","Name");
            st.setAttribute("type","TYPE");
            System.out.println(st.toString());
      }
}

When I run this, I get:

TYPE.get$name$()

Which means the attributes are flowing through correctly, but the substitution in the parameter is not occurring.
