One more thing: an option to do inline transformations.  IOW, the escape
would take a string as input and transform it into another string which
would be included directly in the compiled component.

For example, this directive (quotes not needed, remember):

    <% LOGIN_BUTTON:FIELD(size => $size) |f %>

when passed through the "f" handler as a string, could be transformed to:

    $form->field('login_button')->html_field(size => $size)

resulting in this in the compiled component:

    $m->print($form->field('login_button')->html_field(size => $size));
