[stringtemplate-interest] How to write a helper template/macro for common stuff in a template (i.e. model and controller independent)

[Terence Parr]

ah. right. Jim Idle asked for this too.  on todo list. Or, just pass  
in a Iterator "counter" object whose toString() returns 1, 2, 3, 4...   
bad bad bad style but suffices until i can add "n times" thing.
