[stringtemplate-interest] StringTemplate Compiler for .NET

[Sam Harwell]

I checked in (CL5952) an update that builds a delegate (System.Func<T>)
inside ActionEvaluator instead of basic interpretation. I have not
implemented caching of the delegates or optimized resolution of
arguments other special name attributes. However, the implementation is
a complete working example of execution of a compiled template that
passes the same 1200 unit tests that the interpreter does.

If optimizations including but not limited to known formal arguments
being resolved to a predetermined index when the functors are assembled,
this code could be a true beast. :)

In my test cases of using StringTemplate to generate code, I found that
a small percentage of calls to GetAttribute contained a special name
like "it". Almost all were names of formal arguments.

Code and idea looks nice :) but as i said before i'm not as familiar
with ANTLR and it's grammars as you do :( I need to see resulting code
(in ActionEvaluator.cs?) and compare it to the old code to make a
comment on my opinion of how it would perform.
