[stringtemplate-interest] best way to expose xml in template

[Nate]

Thanks for the reply.

It would be great if there were an interface that could be implemented 
that had simply #get(String). Implementing Map or extending AbstractMap 
for this is brutal. It would also be nice to see support for HashTable. 
Also Collection could be supported... $if (someSet.moo)$ would be 
equivalent to the Java: if (someSet.contains("moo"))
