I think it would not be hard to implement a plug-in for Savant, if there is enough interest for do it. I developed the Smarty plug-in but I do not use it myself because I do not use Smarty.

If you have select inputs with long lists of options picked from a database, you can always split the list according to database query condition criteria and use multiple linked selects with another plug-in of the same forms class that can switch the options of a select input when the value of another linked input changes. It can pick the new options list from a database (anyone you use) without reloading the page.
