[Zope] - Access to sequence-item?

10 Dec 1998

      I think it is a bad decision to use the '-' in special names.
Here is my problem:

   <!--#in outer_list-->
     <!--#in inner_list-->
        How to access the sequence-item?
          this does not work:
            <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(sequence-item)"-->
        How to acces to the outer_list.sequence-item?
          This does not work:
            <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(outer_list.sequence-item)"-->
          neither does this work:
            <!--#with "_.namespace(inner_item=sequence-item)"/>
                <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(inner_item)"-->
            <!--#/with-->
        This indicates, what is going on:
        <!--#with "_.namespace(sequence=42,item=1)"/-->
            inserts 41!!!
            <!--#var expr="sequence-item"-->
        <!--#/with-->

     <!--#/in-->
   <!--#/in-->

I think it would be nice, if the <!--#in --> would support
an 'as' attribute:
   <!--#in outer_list as="outer_item"-->
     <!--#in inner_list as="inner_item"-->
       <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(inner_item)"-->
       <!--#var expr="DoSomethingWith(outer_item)"-->
     <!--#/in-->
   <!--#/in-->

Or am I missing something???
