[stringtemplate-interest] [SPAM] Re: Formal parameters in web templates

no real estimate but a guess would be late november you could play.   
i'm gutting the parser/lexer now since trying to add really good error  
handling was impossible with old method. I ended up having to write a  
lexer by hand.  It's highly context sensitive and even ambiguous  
(well, not semantically).
