Re: ESCAPE=XML

Hi Sam,

The highly modified version of H::T that I use, does contain an 
extensible ESCAPE plugin mechanism - main features:
- users can plugin their own ESCAPEs by deriving from H::T::ESCAPE
- ESCAPE modules are loaded at parse-time
- extra escaping modules:
  DOUBLE_QUOTE - which simply puts double quotes around the TMPL_VAR
  STRIP_NEWLINE - does as it says

The only items that I haven't specifically addressed in the escape-loader:
- I havent tested it against H::T::Expr 0.07 yet...
- the path that the modules loaded from; the current implementation does:
    eval "use HTML::Template::ESCAPE::${escape};";
  This has the effect that user-defined modules need to located in the 
system-directories rather than user-directories (which should be an easy 
fix)

It shouldn't be too much work to send a patch...
