[stringtemplate-interest] mapping templates

[Sam Harwell]

This is the general form:

<{sequence}:{template taking one argument}>

If the template is a template named "bold" declared elsewhere, then the
form <names:bold> makes much more sense, especially since "bold()" would
imply that the template takes no arguments.

Hi, there is a syntax bugaboo in ST v3.

<names:bold()> means apply bold to each element of names but t=foo()  
in an arg list or wherever means invoke foo and put ST into t.  Seems  
like foo should be a template name and foo() should be an invocation.   
That would imply we'd chnage to:

<names:bold>

Makes more sense if you ask me.  Other thoughts?
