...implemented by simply parsing the string into key=value pairs,
which are then stored into a shared map. The actual data binding
implementation can thus be inherited from the existing Map-binding
While they were detected just fine, thy were passed-through
unaltered, which subverts the purpose of such an escape,
which is to allow for the tag syntax to be present in the
processed, substituted document (e.g. when generating a
shell script)
thus `\${escaped}` becomes `${escaped}`
...turns out the ''pipeline design'' is not a good fit for the
Action compilation, since the compiler needs to refer to previous Actions;
better to let the compiler ''build'' the `ActionSeq`
...implemented as »custom processing layer« within a
demand-driven parsing pipeline, with the ability to
inject additional Action-tokens to represent the intermittent
constant text between tags; special handling to expose one
constant postfix after the last active tag.
* establish the feature set to provide
* choose scheme for runtime representation
* break down analysis to individual parsing and execution steps
* conclude which actions to conduct and the necessary data
* derive the abstract binding API required
Conducted an extended investigation regarding text templating
and the library solutions available and still maintained today.
The conclusion is
* there are some mature and widely used solutions available for C++
* all of these are considered a mismatch for the task at hand,
which is to generate Gnuplot scripts for test data visualisation
Points of contention
* all solutions offer a massive feature set, oriented towards web content generation
* all solutions provide their own structured data type or custom property-tree framework
**Decision** 🠲 better to write a minimalistic templating engine from scratch rather
