That was a different issue -- parsing of template syntax on a message displayed
on every page view.
Implementing this would mean caching separate page renders for anonymous and
logged-in users. But that basically happens already, and is also done based on
certain user preferences, so it's nothing new.
I think this would be very useful in certain help pages. Instead of constantly
having to say "if you have an account, then do this, else you have to do this",
it could just say the right thing. Only problem with that is, half the things
you have to be autoconfirmed to do and there would have to be another one to
detect that. (The real problem there, of course, is unnecessarily restricting
things in the first place.)
It would be OK in system messages provided they were only editing-related
messages, or other ones that are only seen on a tiny fraction of page views.
Using it to spew stuff into messages on every page would of course be bad (for
reasons quite apart from server load).
