JavaScript template library that doesn't use eval/new Function

Google Chrome extensions using manifest_version: 2 are restricted from using eval or new Function. All of the JavaScript templating libraries I checked (mustachejs, underscorejs, jQuery template, hoganjs, etc) use new Function. Are there any that are fairly mature and supported that don't use either?

Info about the security restrictions.

Closure Templates is a templating library that does not use eval. Templates are compiled to JavaScript ahead of time, so that what gets included in your app is a plain .js file that should not run into CSP issues.

Maybe you can write a function eval1:

function eval1(blah) {
    var s = document.createElement("script");
    s.src = blah;
    document.head.appendChild(s);
    document.head.removeChild(s);
}

and do a find/replace in the library you want, but that'd be cheating, right?
