A WM brain bender

Hi,

Long time no speak!

I finally got around to getting 2.0b1 (only a year late!) and am working 
on the start of CMS using WM.

I wonder if I'm being really stupid, but I want some of the content, 
which is pulled in from String data, to be treated as a WM template.

So given a content string loaded from the CMS, say "<p>Hello, 
$name</p>", I want to use this in my page, a template itself, but have 
$name evaluate. i.e. something like this in the main CMS rendering template:

<div>
    #eval $content.Data using { "contextData": $someData }
</div>

...but eval only works with Macro objects to my knowledge.

Does anybody know how I can do this? I effectively want the same as 
#include but from a String instead of a file.

I've tried:

<div>
    #templet $block
       $content.Data
    #end
    #eval $block using { "contextData": $someData }
</div>

...but of course this is not correct as $content.Data is not evaluated 
at the time the templet is defined. I also tried #setblock as macro etc.

It's a bit confusing. I'd like to not have to write a helper/directive 
to load a Macro tempalte from a String unless I have to...

Thanks in advance.
