Yes, you're right.
But then it should not be called a template engine, but instead a special
php dialect.

Well, in patTemplate this is much cleaner and easier to understand
for non-programmers.
template:
<patTemplate:tmpl name="foo">
blah
<patTemplate:tmpl name="list">
id: {id}
</patTemplate:tmpl>
</patTemplate:tmpl>
code:
$tmpl->addVar ( 'list', 'id', array ( 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 ) );
$tmpl->addVar ( 'list', 'name', array ( 'joe', 'jack', jane', 'charlie' ) );
