Using !TMPL_VAR would allow for "3-pass" or "n-pass" templating.  That
is, change !TMPL_VAR to TMPL_VAR on each pass.  If you then have
!!TMPL_VAR, it survives to the third pass.

I actually do this (albeit with a different templating system), though I can
recall only a couple of times I ever needed !!.
