History of 2019-02-04 A simple template mechanism in Elisp

2019-02-04
		04:46 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – A long time ago I asked on the Emacs mailing list about a templating mechanism for Emacs Lisp. Of course, there is format. However, I don’t like it as a template engine, since the entries are identified by their order and not names. Then, there is YASnippet and skeleton.el, but they are (probably) better suited for interactive use. (At least Yasnippet can be used programmatically, but it seemed to be too complicated for my needs anyway back then.) Some people suggested other solutions, none of which really appealed to me. So, I set out to write my own.
