template variables

[joereynolds]

These would make templates a lot more useful.
atm they're quite limited.

Two ways of doing this I can think of

1 Simple pre-defined functions

{{ today}} # today's date
{{ user }} # user on machine
{{ note }} # name of the note

2 call bash (or other shells)

Maybe shelling out would be acceptable and we could do stuff like

{{ date +%Y }} # just passes "date +%Y" shell and evaluates the result

Pros to this are it's as flexible as you want it to be
Cons are it's a bit gnarly in the template and crafting the commands could be fiddly.

Thinking for the shell output ones we can change the template placeholder to {% %} like twig.

So {{ blah }} for predefined stuff and {% echo blah %} for shell nastiness
