allow named parameters

[tobibeer]

Idea

Instead of just $1..$9, allow named parameters, e.g. $(foo}. The curly braces are needed to precisely identify the variable within its context.

This can be achieved using named parameters like so...

<<get $:"var1name:value1" $:"var2name:value2"

which results in these variables being usable in the template...

• ${var1name} => value1
• ${var2name} => value2

As a general convention, variable names must only contain alphanumeric characters.

Also make sure that params don't get substituted sequentially but at once, see TemplateTiddlersPlugin, e.g. START_TAG and END_TAG
