-- Simple template language
--
-- The new() function takes a pattern and an escape function and returns
-- a render() function. Both are required.
--
-- The function render() takes a string template and a table of values.
-- Sequences like {name} in the template string are substituted
-- with values from the table, optionally depending on a modifier
-- symbol.
--
-- Variants are:
-- {name} is substituted for values["name"] and is escaped using the
-- second argument to new_render(). To disable the escaping, use {name!}.
-- {name.item} can be used to access table items.
-- To renter lists of items: {name# item number {idx} is {item} }
-- Or key-value pairs: {name% t[ {idx} ] = {item} }
-- To show a defaults for missing values {name? sub-template } can be used,
-- which renders a sub-template if values["name"] is false-ish.
-- {name& sub-template } does the opposite, the sub-template is rendered
-- if the selected value is anything but false or nil.
