Yes. But that leads to extra parantheses. In combination with
functions it woudl lead to
[% import( function('argument', arg2(var)) ) %]
That's one paranthesis to much. Comare with this:
[% IMPORT function('argument', arg2(var)) %]

Ah. Yes. I thought it was the other way around.� The documentation
only explains the direction if you analyze the example. It doesn't
say it in the general description:
The import method can be called on a hash array to import the
contents of another hash array.
Ok. It's clear. But I misinterpretaded it because I was looking for a
way to do the reverse.
To be specific: I wanted to import the result of a query; a single
row, into the root.
