None that I know of, unfortunately. More or less all the solutions seem to be
the same.

The actual code shouldn't "forget" anything, since it loops over all found
$_VARIABLES, and if one of those has no value, it would just ignore the line.

Still, what intrigues me is what Julien (the other one :)) wrote, about the
duplicated lines. I'm not able to reproduce that behaviour.

I'm committing the current fix, and marking the bug has done; Julien (the other
one); if you could please check whether the "double line bug" really happens
after checking the template, and maybe using other templates too; that would be
really helpful.
