Hi all, I just learned that rancher-catalog supports go templating for the docker-compose.yml file.

Can I do this with rancher-cli as well? I tried with `rancher stacks create --docker-compose x.tmpl` - and failed cause the template was not evaluated.

Basically I just want to do the same I do on the UI, just without the loop via the catalog and from the console. But _with_ a template 🙂

Using rancher cli 0.6.7 btw.
