Took the hammer to it one more time and got it working.
Thanks for the info and pointers.
I am not sure why it did not work for me before, but it works now !
And I now know why I did not find the code in template_api.py ! I
was searching for the whole name -- like "per_system" -- and it got
generalized. The string "per_" is in one place, and the strings
"system", "profile", and "distro" are in another !

Nor does mine. But after searching around for a while, I found it -
the
code is in the read_snippet function in template_api.py.
