As Mark said, he introduced user-defined global variables for exactly this
type of flexibility.

So, what's needed is a way to output a set of related methods in the
template language?  Then you could do something like this:

float draw();
float draw(Point origin);

Documentation for both versions of draw.  They do the same thing, but
there is an optional offset parameter.

Hmmm....I'll have to think about that one.  It's certainly a desirable
feature. 

Good suggestion.
