We don't want TGE to have to know how to parse every language, and it may not be reasonable to expect every compiler to expose a parser. So, if we're going to allow other languages in the transform bodies, we may want a "hereis" or podly {{...}}, {{{...}}} syntax to delimit the transform bodies. At the moment I'm leaning towards the {{...}} form, if only because PGE is already using it. Pm
