Is there a way in a tal:condition test to test if a given variable has been 
defined?  For example, if my view callable has not defined a variable in the 
response object, can I use a tal:condition to exclude a section of the template 
that depends on that variable being defined?

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a template that provides the bulk layout 
of each page. It's used as a macro that each individual page includes. As part 
of the macro, I'd like to have a section that is included only if the 
individual page defines a variable. tal:condition seems to require that the 
variable be defined and have a False value. One approach I thought of, but 
couldn't seem to get working was to define the variable to nothing in the macro 
(tal:define="variable nothing") and have the client view re-define it, but I 
must not understand scope or something as the client definition of the variable 
didn't seem to replace the tal:define value.
