[nem-en] Macros and syntax extensions.

[Kamil Skalski]

Sure, I think that $-string is good for one line formatting of text. I
would like to have a way to reuse existing StringBuilder there, so I
could e.g. do:

foreach (x in xs)
  acc << $"insert into $(x.table) ($(x.colums) ) values ($(x.values));";

Is StringTemplate something similar to ASP/JSP/Ruby notation for
building web pages?
Like:
<p>
  <b><%= name %></b> : <%= val %>
</p>

It would be great if you paste some example of using StringTemplate in
this context and in contex mentioned at the beginning of this thread.
What is your vision of integrating it with Nemerle?
