And lo! Red did hit the nail so firmly on the head that it wasn't
true. Though I would add the caveat that scriptish things that concern
themselves *solely* with presentation of data that got processed
somewhere else are usually ok.
[% FOREACH item = basket.contents %]
[% INCLUDE include/itemrow item = item %]
[% END %]
Is fine.
[% FOREACH item = basket.contents %]
[% INCLUDE include/itemrow item = item %]
--> [% total_price += item.price %]
[% END %]
Is not.
