<#
.SYNOPSIS
    JavaScript Template Transpiler.
.DESCRIPTION
    Allows PipeScript to generate JavaScript.

    Multiline comments with /*{}*/ will be treated as blocks of PipeScript.

    Multiline comments can be preceeded or followed by 'empty' syntax, which will be ignored.

    This is so that Inline PipeScript can be used with operators, and still be valid JavaScript syntax.

    The JavaScript Inline Transpiler will consider the following syntax to be empty:

    * ```undefined```
    * ```null```
    * ```""```
    * ```''```
