For those who already responded, are your concerns limited to the dependency issue? Would you have concerns about a templating library that was developed by us and included in-tree? I'm not suggesting suggesting we write one at this time, at least not until after we make a here-doc-ing pass first, but I want to understand the concerns before embarking on any refactoring.
