There are so many cases where someone needs to override something in the
default template (bad hostname, bad programname, etc) that having to create
a custom tempalte for each thing gets to be a hassle.
I'd like to propose that we have some templates that are exactly the same as
the default ones, but that look (for example) for $.hostname and if it's
set, use that instead of $hostname. Have this setup for everything in the
default template set.
I don't know if we dare to do this to the existing templates, or if these
would need to be new templates. If new, could they be built-in, or should
they be string modules that are explicitly loaded (and if string modules,
could they override the default definitions??)
This doesn't sound too trivial.
another approach would be to allow rainerscript to set the variables that are
currently fixed.
i.e.
set $hostname = "foo";
