[stringtemplate-interest] maps, length, wrapping

   Well, regarding line-wrapping, I'm not yet sure about what I  
called the 'right' way to do it.

   The real right way to indent and format code should be to feed the  
raw source code to a formatter (the way Eclipse mostly handles code  
formatting). Alright. But that means a full language AST plus a tree  
'modifier' that should be aware of the output format... That seems  
quite complex, and overkill for simple code generation.

   So maybe the real right way is to forget about formatting and line  
wrapping for simple code generation, because it would go far beyond  
simple templating.


Laurent.
