Jason Cook, who is working on a new version of the irclogger and
supplied the recent patch to Transclusion.pm, is considering a
way to do sequences of transclusion with the irclogger bot. While
talking with him about it, I thought, oh, this might be cool in
the general parser as well: (01)
[t nid,nid,nid,...] (02)
It would take all of two changes in the code, but I'm concerned
that a) it is getting out of hand a bit and b) how do you deal
with division between the pieces. Most of the time there will be
HTLML that causes line breaks, but not all the time. It could
have unexpected results. (03)
The scenarios in which I imagining this being useful are
essentially where you want to transclude a block of content, but
you want to make sure it is considered a block on the page
it is being transcluded to so it doesn't get broken up by edits,
perhaps. Or just for convenience. (04)
