[Latte] words and variables

[Daniel Mahler]

The problem is that I want the name of the refernce, without the "\"
to appear in the output of the template

Something like
{\template \T}

{\T 1}
=> T1

Except for that my problems are solved.
One application of this is to automatically generate
tag functions for XML DTDs
by instantiating a definition template.

{\element \img \src}

should generate the definition

{\def {\img \=src}
  {... img ... src }}

thanks
