Joe: I very much agree with this. I debated whether to add it as a GitHub requirement as it moves away from something simpler. But in my experience with YANG-based templates, programmatic constructs like conditionals and simple loops have been very helpful.

The conditional part could be done with an Xpath filter. A loop tests all the templates matching the target object, running the xpath test.
