Template:foobar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
{{Foobar|$1|$2|$3}}
...(implementation)...

That would make $4 a bit of text. Exactly the same kind of "template
prototype" - to borrow C's terminology. I see no reason to have
multiple different ways of identifying a variable, nor any reason to
have defaults or automatic declarations.
This of course would forbid the use of $n (where n = 1, 2, 3...) as a
synonym for a named variable). That is permitted isn't it? I can't
remember.
