Re: rfe to template.inc

Hi guys,

I hope it's not too late to chime in on this, but it seems like this
enhancement makes the unnecessary assumption that all templates are
HTML-like and use <!-- --> for comments.  I have templates that write
JavaScript and you can imagine other text formats that can be templated.

Why not have template::parse add some variables by default?  You'd still
have to put them in the templates, but there'd be a standard way to access a
template's file name.

You can extend PHPLIB's template to do what you want as well.
