Me too.

Adrian and others mentioned Smarty, which is widely used
outside Drupal, and PHPTal (which is more secure  than
PHPTemplate).

Seems like choice is good, and let the market decide  ...

We can have each module put its theme_foo_bar() functions in a file
called foo.theme in the modules/foo directory. Then, in phptemplate
we can include the .theme file and other engines can do their thing.

Having a separate file (whatever it is named) is good, since we
separate presentation (.theme) from logic (.module).
