To chime in on this thread...  I agree with Perrin that ">" is too simple
to be used as a closing delimiter, but if 'lt', 'gt', 'ge', and 'le' are
going to stay, I would like them to at the very least pay attention to the
CASE setting.  We actually use 'le' as a variable name in a number of our
templates and 2.04d had some problems with that ;-)
