You could do that if you wanted to regex all of the vars in the block. =
My
goal was to gratify my laziness with minimal overhead. I was tired of =
doing:
	$tpl->set_var(array("a_var" =3D> "", "another_var" =3D> "", "yet_again"
=3D> "", "ad_nauseum" =3D> ""));

times.

be reassigned anyway

Look at the function again - that's why it takes a string _or an array_.
	$tpl->clear_var(array("a_var", "another_var", "yet_again",
"ad_nauseum"));

Don't worry, I'm not proposing this as the next best improvement for
template.inc; I simply wanted to show that even though this isn't Perl,
still there _is_ more than one way to do it.
