[themes] shortcut for phptemplate variable printouts

[Farsheed]

I forgot to mention another idea (which is still valid
php but would shorten code):

<?=$content ?>
<?=$sidebar_left ?>

I can definitely appreciate Morbus Iff's sentiments. 
Just for clarification, I wasn't suggesting making an
entire markup language, just one alias for single
variable printouts.
