Ah, misunderstood you first time round. The problem with just doing symbol expansion is that you can't have values that depend on other values (like the "Width + 10" example in the post). For us, this has been a large part of the gain.

Perhaps it's possible to mix this two things to get something like:

ruby {

.... ruby code defining stuff ...

}

attrib: @stuff

Self contained, not a new language, able to define stuff relative to other stuff.
