At the same time, could you please parametrize the variable evaluation
of pagelist template:

in pmwiki-2.1.18, scripts/pagelist.php(358):

    $item = preg_replace('/\\{(=|&[lg]t;)(\\$\\w+)\\}/e',
                "PageVar(\$pn, '$2', '$1')", $item);

Whatever the way this line of code would evolve, could we have both
the regexp and the replacement string being defined by global
variables, in order to avoid the duplication of the FPLTemplate
function when trying to improve (:pagelist:). More precisely and
refering to the code above, I was thinking of something like:

    global $FPLTemplateReplace;
    ...
    SDVA($FPLTemplateReplace, array(
    '' => array('pat' => '/\\{(=|&[lg]t;)(\\$\\w+)\\}/e',
                'rep' => "PageVar(\$pn, '$2', '$1')",
               ),
    ));
    foreach($FPLTemplateReplace as $r)
      $item = preg_replace($r['pat'], $r['rep'], $item);

Thanks,
Dom
