Another tack to take is to use PHP's streams support. We did this in
ZF's Zend_View at one point to emulate short tags when they're disabled.
Basically, it allows you to pre-process the template file as it's being
included.

The downside is, of course, performance. However, you could very easily
add a caching layer to this as well to cache the modified code so that
subsequent calls do not have to do the pre-processing.

Basically, I think this is something that can be accomplished in
userland.
