	Data-driven templates for generating textual output such as
	HTML.

	Templates are executed by applying them to a data structure.
	Annotations in the template refer to elements of the data
	structure (typically a field of a struct or a key in a map)
	to control execution and derive values to be displayed.
	The template walks the structure as it executes and the
	"cursor" @ represents the value at the current location
	in the structure.

	Data items may be values or pointers; the interface hides the
	indirection.

	In the following, 'field' is one of several things, according to the data.

		- The name of a field of a struct (result = data.field),
		- The value stored in a map under that key (result = data[field]), or
		- The result of invoking a niladic single-valued method with that name
		  (result = data.field())

	Major constructs ({} are metacharacters; [] marks optional elements):

		{# comment }

	A one-line comment.

		{.section field} XXX [ {.or} YYY ] {.end}

	Set @ to the value of the field.  It may be an explicit @
	to stay at the same point in the data. If the field is nil
	or empty, execute YYY; otherwise execute XXX.

		{.repeated section field} XXX [ {.alternates with} ZZZ ] [ {.or} YYY ] {.end}

	Like .section, but field must be an array or slice.  XXX
	is executed for each element.  If the array is nil or empty,
	YYY is executed instead.  If the {.alternates with} marker
	is present, ZZZ is executed between iterations of XXX.

		{field}
		{field|formatter}

	Insert the value of the field into the output. Field is
	first looked for in the cursor, as in .section and .repeated.
	If it is not found, the search continues in outer sections
	until the top level is reached.

	If a formatter is specified, it must be named in the formatter
	map passed to the template set up routines or in the default
	set ("html","str","") and is used to process the data for
	output.  The formatter function has signature
		func(wr io.Writer, data interface{}, formatter string)
	where wr is the destination for output, data is the field
	value, and formatter is its name at the invocation site.
