I recently bestowed the virtues of cobbler unto a colleague who has, like
many, decided it's the best thing since sliced bread. Good so far...

After he had been working with it for a while, he experienced a problem
which was keeping his lower per_* snippets from overriding the top level
counterparts.

For example, he has
snippets/post_install
and also
snippets/per_system/post_install/mysystem01.

In both files he had (unbeknownst before the override) unescaped "$" chars.
When the per_system post_install snippet was not applied, everything
rendered correctly. However when a specific host was specified in order to
get the overriding snippet, the rendering failed.

So, to recap, two copies of the same messed up snippet were in place. The
top level one rendered correctly, the per_system one did not as cheetah
choked on the unescaped "$" signs.

Is this a know bug/feature?
