I think it would be handy to be able to identify a variable with its section name, something like: {{$sectionname:foo}} would print the current value of foo for the section. If the section is omitted and you are within a section block, then the current section is assumed. With this in mind, you could re-loop every value no matter what is nested. example: {{section sec1}} ... {{ $foo }} {{ $sec1:foo }} <!-- prints the same variable as $foo --> ... {{section sec2}} ... {{ $foo }} {{ $sec2:foo }} <!-- prints the same variable as $foo --> {{ $sec1:foo }} <!-- prints value of outer section foo variable --> ... {/section}} {{/section}}
