Can mustache iterate a top-level array?

Question

My object looks like this:

[\'foo\',\'bar\',\'baz\']

And I want to use a mustache template to produce from it something like this:

I don't think mustache can do this! (surprisingly) You can iterate over a list of objects, and then access the attributes of each object, but you can't seem to iterate over a simple list of values!

So, you have to transform your list into:

[ {"value":"foo"},{"value":"bar"},{"value":"baz"} ] 

and then your template would be:

  {{#the_list}}
  
{{value}}
  {{/the_list}}

To me, this seems like a severe problem with Mustache -- any template system should be able to loop over a list of simple values!
