D'Oh! So I didn't reinvent the wheel, but somehow made some other 
individuals do. Anyway I saw some interesting approaches to the problem. 
I'll study the code of templates.sl to see how it copes with it too. 
Anyway I'd like all my installations to be uniform, if possible.

So templates.sl is extension-driven as opposed to mode-driven. It 
definitely seems interesting, although I see advantages in both 
approaches.

Better and better!

I don't know Ruby but of fame. I saw there are S-Lang to Perl bindings, 
but the other way round, in fact, and AT FIRST SIGHT, not much supported. 
But I may be wrong on this...
