[themes] shortcut for phptemplate variable printouts

Hi,

In order to minimize the php code seen by a themer, I was wondering what people thought of making simple aliases for basic printouts of phptemplate variables. The phptemplate engine would go in and find these aliases and convert them to their actual values.

BEFORE: <?php print $content ?> <?php print $sidebar_left ?>

AFTER: {$content} {$sidebar_left}

Just looking to reduce the amount of potentially intimidating code for new themers. Of course regular PHP should still work.
