I always find amusing when i hear people complaining that Smarty lets
them do 'too many things' Uh, don't do them, dude :-) My templates
always are as logic-free as possible and the ocasional {if} is still
much better than intermingled php. Just because it's in the docs, it
doesn't mean you're forced to use it. Or does it? ;)
