- the lack of filters (like jinja filters). Filters are a nice way to transform the data at the point where it is used. This could be used for value escaping (actually, this is how we use it to generate valid c++ identifiers from values in our yaml description files).
Interestingly, while thinking about the issues Rainer Deyke raised, I effectively seem to have reinvented Jinja filters, right down to the name and syntax. They are a straightforward extension and will solve (or at least mitigate) much of the deficiencies of the language.
