[PHPTAL] Advanced TALES

There are few cases where simple TALES (expressions like "foo/bar/baz")  
isn't working well, most often comparison of selected <option>, PHPTAL's  
pythonified/xmlized PHP syntax has gotchas and it's confusing to jump  
between the two.

I think in that case best solution would be to make TALES more powerful,  
but I wonder how much powerful? Should I add math expressions? String  
concatenation? Should I allow passing of function arguments? What the  
syntax should be like?

> foo/bar EQ baz/quz

> foo/bar + baz/quz

Should modifiers work inside TALES?

How do you mark end of modifier's content?

> foo/bar + php:foo()

> php:foo() + bar/baz
