Fixed. The no-space after the squiggle was an escape bug.
The space before the squiggle is as expected (as mentioned
above). Please change nullary templates to:
[template name[]stuff]
The space after the identifier in:
[template name stuff]
is significant and is considered as part of the body.
Perhaps I should disallow the second form to make it clear?
Thoughts?
