Yet another hokey way to do it:

    <al-macro name="master">
      Stuff stuff stuff
      <al-include expr="sidebar_name">
      <al-usearg name="body">
      Blah blah blah
    </al-macro>

Then the name of the sidebar is placed into the execution context
before macro expansion:

ctx.locals.sidebar_name = 'sidebar-with-bells.html'
