[ZPT] METAL expansion only when editing

[Peter Bengtsson]

Ok then.

What is the difference between using macros or tal:replace when you're
always having the little "Expand while editing" thing off?

What is most precious to me is processing speed in this case. We must avoid
all luxiurios editing options to gain time.
Besides, at run time, these templates will not have to worry too much about
where they are and how they are included. Another stringent entity does
that.

Do I sound silly?
