@michje Just so you know, this project got a lot more attention than I ever thought it would. Originally, it was just meant to be a simple overload of String.Format that took named placeholders instead of integers.

Personally, I have been too busy and disinterested to really work on the project, for some time now. Between managing multiple projects at work and having a couple kids, I just don't care as much as I should. That's not really fair to you folks, but that's life. If someone finds a bug, I will fix it, but new features going forward will be rare.

I am running aground with Mustache# right now. Take a look at the source code for Handlebars.js some time. It has code specifically for picking apart the templates (stuff you learn when you are getting a computer science degree). Compared to that Mustache# is a hacky weekend project. It's made it unnecessarily difficult to extend the project.

I don't think "help" is really what I am looking for at this point. Help implies I have time to go through someone else's commits and give them the time they deserve. Now, if someone wants to completely rewrite Mustache# from scratch, vastly improve the code and maintain backward compatibility... they can have the name.
