The primary advantage isn't syntactic. How I see it is that a designer
who knows HAML, but not Ruby could create components out of partials
without having to write any Ruby code. It also adds functionality when
using HAML apart from Rails w/o having to roll your own helpers
framework. This would help to further decouple HAML from Rails and
encourage its use in other environments. There is also a clear
syntactic advantage over:
= render :partial => 'foo'
which would become
$foo
