I'm strongly leaning towards the side of implementing this as a helper rather than as a language feature. This is for several reasons. First, I'm generally wary of adding new language features unnecessarily; Haml is already a reasonably large and complex language when you look at all of it, and I'd like to keep it from getting larger or more complex if at all possible. Second, I don't for sure about ASP.NET, but at least in Ruby I don't think this would be either difficult or ugly to implement as a helper; something like http://gist.github.com/227628. Third, Ruby Haml doesn't have any built-in notion about relationships between multiple templates, such as layouts and partials; it's strictly concerned with rendering one template at a time. That means that this probably wouldn't be implementable anyway.
