[julia-users] Help please: how to expand dictionary into (local ?) variables with the same name as the keys and the corresponding values

[Adrian Salceanu]

Hi, 

This seems to be a recurring question per my googlings, but still I could 
not find a satisfactory answer. 

I'm looking for a generic way of doing this: 

render_template(template_content, Dict(:greeting => "Hello", :greeted => 
"World", :other => Dict("foo" => 1)))

where 

function render_template(template_content, template_vars = Dict{Symbol,Any
}()) 
  # here instantiate template_vars keys with corresponding values, so that 
  # greeting = "Hello"
  # greeted = "World"
  # other = Dict("foo" => 1)
end

Thanks!
