What if a template turned into a function, whose job was to render itself?

  "What if a template turned into a function, whose job was to render itself?" Numerous web frameworks already work this way. I remember the flash of realization I got when I realized that ASP worked this way. No, not ASP::Net... ASP. Back in 1998 or so. It had an include call that allowed you to pass parameters into the target file. It wasn't emphasized that this means it's a function, but it was. (Yes, having a full functional environment for your functions would have some benefits.)
