If {*{$$text}} in a template, then {$$text} is substituted with the
value of the text= option to (:include:).  The result is just a normal
page text variable on the current page.

Thus, with

  (:include ... author="John" text=$:comment1 :)

the {$$text} in {*{$$text}} is replaced with "$:comment1", producing

    {*$:comment1}

The markup engine then sees this as a normal page text variable
("$:comment1 on the currently displayed page").

Yes, it's a little obscure, but it works.  And there seems to be a lot
of flexibility in the things that can be done with this.
