Smarty

Instead of having two different tags
{include} and {include_php}, it would nice to merge them.

For example:
{incude file='...'} is a simple template include.
{include file='...' php=true} would do parsing a .php file as by {include_php}.

Plus, there should be a better validator, that should know, if an incuded file is a real php or not.

I love writing slim codes; and thus asked to throw {include_php} away.
And, is there a general idea to know, how many people use this tag?

Smarty 3 will allow php template resources, which are not compiled:

{include file="php:foo.php"}

This is also good.

I have a feelings that for a true template engine implemenation, we may have to rarely bother about parsing template files.

It was my unfortue to me that I happened to learn {php} tags instead of other features, and first year of my Smarty was too poor.

These days, I never think of parsing php files or writing inline php codes in a template.
