You say "In brief, these sorts of requests have tended to be denied in the past
because
we don't want Wikitext to become a programming language. If you want something
complicated done, then maybe you should be asking for it to be done in a Parser
Function, rather than writing a template."
That is exactly what I am proposing: a ParserFunction named here "{{#v: }}" (or
more completely "GlobalContextVariables" for the extension name I gave it
initially, or just "ContextVariables" if it is more general and can also
handle local variables instead of just globals).
Note that My first desire is for "globals", not just "locals": the variables
must be able to transport a value implicitly across multiple templates
invokations (including through recursion) and even after they return their
result, otherwise there is no usable context in articles, an we still need to
pass parameters to every template invokation.
