Boltwire can handle nested templates fine. The only problem is that
the source code gets ugly after a while :p
There is very little with templates that i've not had reason to try by
now. The bugs are mostly gone, and we should always strive to be
completly bug free...

But... Boltwire should just work. Puppy eyes!

Yes! We should always customize boltwire so it becomes easy to do
complex things. And then patch it in :p

Oooh, pretty.

Hmm. We should document that better. Write it into the help text for
search, as well as visible in the docs for templates.

Thats a good start. I think using *, as long as it works with the
default skin, would be better, just make sure the examples clearly
show "fmt" and not "template", and put in references to the
differences between them all over the place.
BTW, with the new skin, I found that indentation was working really
badly in the side menu, if you switch between left and right. Bullet-
points would be easyer to fix such behaviour with, spaces would always
be to the left.
