[Experiment] Use Template::Semantic to isolate logic

[malukenho]

I need a review on it, as well as opinions on that. I know that we have an issue #626 from 2016. I'm not sure if that still applies.

I'm not even sure what is the future plans for this project. Is there any place I can look into it?

Thanks for the PR. Templating is a good thing, but I think that the presentation, logic and database are so intertwined that retrofitting it is likely to be prohibitively difficult. Then again, I'd be glad to be proven wrong. Before we pull in another dependency, I think if we're to pursue a project of this sort, we should try to push the templating deeper and see which bits are difficult. If you're interested in looking into this, I'd be glad to review it.

As it happens, I've been working on an off for a few years on a proof-of-concept implementation of a Python package for generating offices from the DO datafiles, and I've just started on the templating in the past week or two (but haven't pushed anything yet). This is very much a side project and might never go anywhere, but I hope that it will provide a useful point of reference for discussions of possible future directions.
