I can't get this to work at all:
<dtml-if "sequence-size > 1">
zope complains about not being able to find 'sequence'.  I had solved this issue
before with a let tag <dtml-let size=sequence-size>, but it seems very wasteful
and adds a lot of syntax overhead to the code.  How can I access the sequence
variable in an expression?

Actually, I'm checking to see if I've got multiple elements.  If I do, then I
use IN () in my DB query, else I put in =.  When I split the string, I don't
know if I have multiple items.
