He designed StringTemplate accordingly, but StringTemplate isn't pure-push then, isn't it?

I don't know what pure push is. If I had to guess, I would say that the 5 rules implied by strict separation, listed after Definition 7, define pure push. And as far as I can see, StringTemplate doesnt break any of those rules.

I know Seamstress doesnt.
