Why doesn't it work?
I'm unsure whether you want $(name)$ to be replaced during creation, or if
you want to copy `\define code-tiddler() $(name)$` exactly as is, but
either way, you can include pragma inside the body macro.
\define body()
\define code-tiddler() $(value)$
Dear $(name)$,
I write to inform you that your pet, $(pet)$ has filed for emancipation.
\end
$(value)$ here will remain as-is unless `value` is defined. If it IS
defined, it'll replace, so you can get either way you want it, I'd think.
