I am merely pointing out that the programatically defined value is then
no longer compatible with Customize interface. It may be important, or
not.

The fact that we need a tool like "doct" to write templates in a compact
form may be a sign that the data type is not good enough. Actually it
sounds like a failure somehow.
Should templates definition be more compact out of the box? Could the
data type be made more powerful to permit more complex templates without
relying on doct? IOW, can a tool such a doct be made transparent to the
user?
