A templating utility for populating a CouchDB instance with data.

Template macros are have the form: #{macro_name(param1,param2,param3,...)}

Example document template:

{
  "type": "#{pick(human,orc,elf,dwarf)}",
# comment, this will be ignored
  "category": "#{pick(warrior,assassin,thief,paladin,priest,wizard)}",
  "ratio": #{random_int(0, 1)}.#{random_int(0, 9)},
  "level": #{random_int(1, 20)},
# randomly generated base64 string with 5 to 50 characters
  "variable_length_string": "#{random_string(#{random_int(5, 50)})}",
  "integers": [
      #{random_int(0, 100000)}, #{random_int(0, 100000)},
      #{random_int(0, 100000)}, #{random_int(0, 100000)},
      #{random_int(0, 100000)}, #{random_int(0, 100000)}
  ],
  "nested": {
      "coords": [
          {
              "x": #{random_int(0, 200000)}.#{random_int(0, 100)},
              "y": #{random_int(0, 200000)}.#{random_int(0, 100)}
          },
          {
              "x": #{random_int(0, 200000)}.#{random_int(0, 100)},
              "y": #{random_int(0, 200000)}.#{random_int(0, 100)}
          }

    },
    "#{if(#{random_int(1, 2)} == 1)}hello.md": {
