Not really, because you're actually building logic with MetaL, whereas we're
just doing string replacement that's supported by logic that figures out
what to replace with.

I.e. we have a tag for putting the correct language version of a string
based on the current language code, or putting in a bunch of code for a
static module call from page, etc.

I need to spend a little time with MetaL to get more comfortable with it,
but I don't think what we're doing crosses.

best,
