What I'm doing is pretty similar to the #extends thing actually. I'm doing this
directly in the python code, though. I can extend the Cheetah-provided Template
class in order to create both pure python and cheetah built-in functions.
Additionally, because I can intercept Cheetah's compile function, I can
actually replace SNIPPET:: even within snippets (so we can have recursive
snippets without requiring the $SNIPPET syntax).
I think I may have also found a good way to carry over the #def's from
snippets. (I tried #def global already. Cheetah barf, ew!). Basically, I can
just append the search list of any snippets to the search list of the
snippetter. Anyway, hopefully I'll have something working before Monday, and
I'll have a patch ready. (I am moving back to school this weekend).
