Love extensions! Hate what they do to wiki code, but they are very
useful. Thanks to those who made this feature possible.
How can I get the value of a template's parameters while in an
extension? I'm talking about an extension that is invoked in a
template that has parameters. For example, <extension>{{{1}}}</
extension> somewhere in a template. The text '{{{1}}}' is passed to
the extension rather than it's value. It's clear the the parser
doesn't parse wiki text before nor after an extension is called,
probably by design. That seems to leave this issue to the extension
writer. Is there a way to get to such a parameter's value or somehow
pass that value to an extension?
