I don't think the DEFAULT= parameter to TMPL_VAR was available when I
wrote ::Set. In any case, to set a variable and not output it
immediately, one would have to wrap the statement:

<TMPL_IF NAME=never><TMPL_VAR NAME=title DEFAULT=Page Title></TMPL_IF>

which seems a lot more trouble than

<TMPL_SET NAME=title VALUE=Page title>

Also, if you set a value with DEFAULT=, you can't query it
programmatically via $template->param().
