I am thinking about creating a very simple parser function #parse doing
nothing but returning parameter 1 with an "'noparse' => false" option.
Is there anything like this (or what could be abused for this) already
or is there any reason why this might be a bad idea?

The reason I want to have something like this is, I want to create a
template (for template and parser function black-box tests) accepting
something like {{((}}#somefunction:a{{!}}b{{!}}c{{))}} as parameter
value, showing {{#somefunction|a|b|c}} as output and at the same time
calling {{#parse: {{((}}#somefunction:a{{!}}b{{!}}c{{))}} }} so that
besides the definition also the result can be shown by the template output.

regards,
Daniel
