i am not advocating rolling your own in most cases, just some very small
and simple ones. up until now i have rarely needed a more powerful
templater than i could whip up in a few minutes. my point is that tt2
isn't the answer in all cases either. sometimes small is good too.

that is still the confusing (as in english grammar) part. WHAT should be
used? i think you mean to say 'should use code to construct the
variables'.

then why didn't you say so to begin with? :)
