Excellent. Another thing that I’ve done a few times (frankly, since I overlooked the existence of `eval` until now ...) was to create another template object-instance, use it to generate some output, then dropped it into a variable. Which, I presume, is more-or-less what `eval` does.

I don't think that will work. The TT-engine will not recursively re-apply itself in order to resolve "new" TT-code that the present compilation level has introduced. You will have to feed your `$foo` to the TT-engine again (and again and ...) until all the TT-tags are processed.
