FasterTemplate c# code

So I wrote the thing up . Compared with a fairly common alternative, a run of the more type safe and render friendly template took 260 ms to merge 10k iterations vs. 480 ms for the alternative. In addition, the alternative went through almost twice the allocations (meaning more GC would result).
I’m kind of pleased that this is faster than the alternative, but am going to do some more thinking of a better way. A 46% reduction is nice, but it’s just under twice as fast. Still, the benefits of a cached template and token/key checking beats the alternative.
Toying with the idea of a strongly typed template leads to a dead end pretty much. Sure, one could dynamically emit a class that exposes the token names as properties, but then how would you bind to these in compile time? since the tokens are NOT known at compile time, the programmer using the class would have to populate a name value pair in some fashion, so that at run time the binding could be made.
