A feature I want the most for Diet is the ability to parse Diet 
templates at RUNTIME instead of compile time with a switch, 
similar to Regex/CtRegex.

In this way one can do quick turnarounds in dev mode, tweaking 
little corners of the pages, and then when a page is finished, it 
can be switched to compile mode for faster render time.

Do you think this is feasible?
