Description:
------------
In the old PHPLIB template.inc I could nest variable tags such as:

{{DeleteType}Id}

where I would first set the variable DeleteType to something like Artist. Then I could set ArtistId to something. I used this with the old PHPLIB template.inc to use the same delete confirmation form for more than one type of deletion, and use the same Id variable as the database field.

Test script:
---------------
<input name="{DeleteType}Id" type="hidden" id="{DeleteType}Id" value="{{DeleteType}Id}">

Expected result:
----------------
<input name="ArtistId" type="hidden" id="ArtistId" value="89">

Actual result:
--------------
<input name="ArtistId" type="hidden" id="ArtistId" value="">

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

As HTML_Template_IT aims to provide a simple API, we won't provide such a feature.
