I'm not aware of templates in Eiffel or ML, but the WP article also 
mentioned Haskell (which you nimbly left out of the list) which indeed 
has been extended to support templates in Template Haskell. There are 
several similar kind of languages, e.g. MetaOCaml. The original Template 
Haskell paper lists some of these.
