merge({ name :'My name'}, template.html()); // <div>My name</div>

<script type="text/html">
<div>#{name}</div>
</script>
*/

var merge = function( json, template ){
	var pattern = /.{(\w*)\}/g;
	var html = template.replace( pattern, function(key){
		return json[ key.slice(2, -1) ];	
	});
	return html;
