-- When prompting again, reuse existing values as defaults
-- Per-template/module scripts in `bin` dir, which are automatically included in `PATH`
-  - `jen exec` and `jen export` should alter `PATH` to include `bin` dir(s)
 - `jen do` alone to prompt for action
 - `jen export` to list env variables
 - Reusable modules
 - Add `set` step to set multiple variables (are those saved to `jen.yaml`?)
-- Override values at command-line level (`--set myValue=value`)
-- Exceptionally escape within any file, using `{{{` and `}}}` to represent `{{` and `}}`
 - `confirm` step (similar to `if`, but `confirm` property contains message to display and `then` the steps to execute)
 - Custom placeholders:
