Gary,

i agree with Eric's comment.  if you think of the issue of trying to
parse an arbitrary (and growing) number of languages, trying to avoid
language-specific constructions in your choice of macro-designator
(things like "@@..@@" or "{{..}}" or "$.." or...), etc., you will
probably fairly quickly come to see the benefits of :var as the way of
passing in inputs.

cheers, Greg
