Because we evaluate ST instance by invoking Interpreter.exec(STWriter, InstanceScope) again, we can't pass options in. So the Bytecode.INSTR_WRITE instruction of an applied template (such as when we wrap in between template applications like <data:{v|[<v>]}; wrap>) we need to write the wrap string before calling Interpreter.exec. We expose just like for the separator. See Interpreter.writeObject where it checks for ST instance. If POJO, Interpreter.writePOJO passes wrap to write(String str, String wrap). Can't pass to Interpreter.exec. /**
