   --  Template-based output, based loosely on C's printf family. Unlike
   --  printf, it is type safe. We don't support myriad formatting options; the
   --  caller is expected to call 'Image, or other functions that might have
   --  various formatting capabilities.

   type Template is new Utils.UTF_8;

   --  Prints the template as is, except for the following escape sequences:
   --    "\n" is end of line.
   --    "\i" indents by the default amount, and "\o" outdents.
   --    "\I" indents by one space, and "\O" outdents.
   --    "\1" is replaced with X1, and similarly for 2, 3, ....
   --    "\\" is "\".

   --  Note that the template is not type String, to avoid this sort of thing:
