For example, our home page may say:

1. Click here to register (no cookie)
2. Welcome back blah, sign-in here (has a cookie, not signed in)
3. Welcome back blah (has cookie, already signed in)

If this page is hard to generate and static other than this, we'd
generate the page with a placeholder.  When the page is accessed,
read the cached page, replace the placeholders, send it out.

The assumption here is that replacing placeholders is more efficient
than re-generating the content.  So basically, "give me this
cached page and replace parameters name=xyz, sign-in-url=http://...".
