Ah, metaprogramming.  If I were doing this, I would write a Script that
rendered the Formulator template and copied the result into another
template.  This other template would be the macro source for the page
that uses the form.  Broken down:

1. Template "MyPage" contains (among other stuff):
  <div metal:use-macro="here/form_template/macros/form"></div>

2. Template "form_template" is written by Script "FormLever", by doing:
  container.form_template.write(container.formulated())

3. Template "formulated" looks like:

<form tal:attributes="metal:define-macro string:form">
  <table>
    <tr tal:repeat="element here/form/get_all_elements">
      <td tal:content="element/render" />
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

When you change the Formulator form, you pull the FormLever.
