Go: template without name

Is there a way to create a `template.Template` from a `string` without giving it a name? Looking at the docs, it seems like the New(name string) is the only way to parse a template string. I wrote a helper function which generates a unique name using an iterator. ``` var seq chan int func init() { seq = make(chan int) go func() { for i := 0; true; i++ { seq <- i } }() } func TemplateToString(tmplStr string, data interface{}) (string, error) { name := fmt.Sprintf("template-%d", <-seq) tmpl, err := template.New(name).Parse(tmplStr) if err != nil { return "", err } buffer := bytes.Buffer{} err = tmpl.Execute(&buffer, data) return buffer.String(), err } ``` playground This works, but I would prefer a cleaner approach if it's possible.
