Whiteboard
Personally, I think context should be very strict. Thus, this should apply:
* no changes allowed since template rendering start. This will allow to make a LOT of optimizations in rendering engine. This also allows much more efficient loops inside template.
* context should be static. This means that it fully evaluates any lazy data sets before rendering. Internally context will be represented as a big dictionary (only 1 level in opposite of django template context style).
Goals:
* easy debugging (template logic will not be mixed with lazy data evaluation)
* speed (we can make a lot of optimizations if context will be static)
(?)
