We use it quite a lot. In some of our in-house applications we'll have 2
text files. One is a template containing text with embedded variables
(could be HTML code or troff for example). The other file is a list of
variable names and values.

createVariable() is used on the contents of each line of the "variables"
file to create those variables in the LVM. expandText() is then used on
the contents of the "text" file to generate the desired output.
