One of the reasons Perl is popular is its idioms. Having to say
something in three lines is not as idiomatic as one line. It takes a
lot of discipline to use it everywhere. In other words, I don't think
the above is more comfortable than:
String(['User.first_name'], 'my_first_name_font');
Note also the accessor for User.first_name in Template Toolkit is
probably nontrivial.
