>>    user => 'btilly',
>>    project_root => '/home/[% user %]/foo',
>>    template_root => '[% project_root %]/app/view',
>>    escaped => '\[% watch_this %]',
>>  }
>>
>>and then get back:
>>
>>  {
>>    user => 'btilly',
>>    project_root => '/home/btilly/foo',
>>    template_root => '/home/btilly/foo//app/view',
>>    escaped => '[% watch_this %]',
>>  }
>>
>>The use case is mostly for configuration files, where you'd have a
>>hash describing a basic sandbox template, override the values you need
>>to, and
 then get the configuration for a developer.  With this sort of
>>templating, the amount that you need to override goes way down.
