Elasticsearch compatibility
One use case for mustache is building parameterized search templates for Elasticsearch. The rendering engine in Elasticsearch has two special built-in functions/annotations:
{{#toJson}}some-object{{/toJson}} renders the nested object to valid JSON, and {{#join}}some-array{{/join}} concatenates the strings in the array to a single string with a default or custom delimiter. Could chevron implement those annotations as well? Asking for a friend :)
Would writing a toJson and join lambda in "user space" work for your use case? That should give you full control over your desired functionality without changing behavior for non-elastic search users.

Any thoughts or additional requirements? Thanks!
That should work for the use case, if I can offer any help feel free to get in touch
