Right. And why I said (wished) $if accepting a TextReference (like state
does for $reveal). I'm hinting that if a preparse returned you something
with !! then you could support them (and then the wikification would work -
right?)
But it's probably a step too far (plus you'd have the only widget that
supported both on the entire planet) ;) Too confusing is my guess.
