Hmm. I want to create a variable whose value is given by another value.
Doing:

<!--#with "_.namespace(foo=<!--#var id-->)"-->
<!--#var foo-->
<!--#/with-->

doesn't make it through the parser.  

I've tried adding various quotes to no effect.

I think I'm going to work on understanding ExternalMethods -- this syntax
is not made for me. =)
