[ZPT] forcing a string to be a path

[Fernando Martins]

Hi Adam,

> <span tal:replace="structure request/content">content goes here</span>

Which is correct and as expected. If I call your name, Adam, I'll get to see
your face but if I want your money in the bank I've to ask bank/adam :-). Of
course, if I want to reach a variety of people, I've to do bank/?person or
in your code sample:

<span tal:define="fish request/content" tal:replace="structure
here/?fish">content goes here</span>
