Templating for ShellTask commands
See original GitHub issueOpening for discussion; we could go for a full-fledge solution like Jinja, or we could do something simple like:
echo !param
and replace all instances of !string with a parameter value (either taken from context or from an actual Parameter). The exclamation point should be a safe character to rely on.
I’m not really sure how heavily people will use templating, and how intricate their use cases will be.

That’s actual bash syntax though; I don’t want to be manipulating valid syntax --> that could lead to unexpected and hard to debug situations.
Gut reaction: templating is broadly useful beyond bash (SQL, helm, etc) so we should have comfort that we have a general solution.
