Perhaps I am wrong here, but couldn't one just use indirect variable lookup within the expression to access the method. There has got to be a way to use _.getitem for this purpose inside the <dtml-in>, since by default, it doesn't automatically render the method, but I'm not sure how one would pass the param to the method? Anybody have syntax that would work?
