Unfortunately not. It's not any *technical* limitation in Hamlet, just that
I can't think of a good, intuitive syntax for it. The way that I work around
this is by defining variables in a where clause, eg

fun f x = [$hamlet|^templateTmp^|] where templateTmp = template f x

If you have better ideas, I'm open to hearing them ;).
