Thanks! Glad you like it.

Probably.  Now that we have a 1.0 release, we're not likely to tweak the
spelling unless there's a great outcry.

This is a remnant from earlier experiments.  At one point, there were
'global', 'local', and 'var' (combined) variables.  Now there's just
'repeat'.  The example above should really look like this:

tal:define="mytitle template/title; tlen python:len(mytitle)"

The

Actually, this is an implementation detail of ZPT, not a feature of
METAL.  METAL doesn't really care how macros are exposed and accessed.
