I think I'll make all macro parameters expect a data path, but create a new 
way to specify literals.

It could work both like this:

${include data_path}

...and:

${include << /dir/filename}

You could also do something like this with ${each}:

${each << [a, b, c]}
${end}

...and this with ${with}:

${with << {a => "A"}}
${end}

It would apply to all macros, of course.  I guess the literal could just be 
any Ruby expression that returns a hash, array or value.  So I suppose I 
could do away with the ${eval} macro completely in favor of:

${var << eval_expression}

Thanks for the heads-up, and I'm glad you're getting good use from the 
library.
