I agree that this is a terrible way to do things. Perl has the right idea
with $sigils, so at least &functions look different from other @things. Oh,
and you know... a lexical scope.
I've personally been burned with this in ircxory*:
[% MACRO thing(thing) BLOCK %]
<a class="thing" href="[% c.uri_for('/things',thing) | html%]">
[% thing | html %]</a>
[% END %]
Then:
<ul>
[% WHILE (thing = things.next) %]
<li>[% thing(thing.name) %] [% score(thing.score) %]</li>
[% END %]
</ul>
Oops, that breaks.
Now my variables have really icky names to work around that, but it has made
me consider ditching TT. Unfortunately I don't like the alternatives
either :) Maybe T::Declare...
