That was my thought too. I'm all for collaboration, but not at the expense
of watering down Mason into just another syntax variant. If TT can support
Mason's autohandlers, dhandlers, component inheritance, arguments, and other
features via a pluggable architecture, I'll be very impressed, but I doubt
that's Andy's goal. Also, some of Mason's features are intricately tied to
the notion of "perl inside the template", and TT has traditionally shied
away from this.

Anyway, we'll have to see how the project progresses.
