OTOH, one could rather easily set up the data structure in TT in a
PREPROCESSed template.  It is not as elegant as doing this in perl,
but I found it very convenient to write a macro which enters a new
document into the structure and then to call this macro for all the
documents in the PREPROCESSed template.  Every document can then
access the data structure as if it had been created in perl.
