You may want to read "Advanced Snippets" under the Snippet article on
the Wiki if you need snippets to do different things on different profiles.
Perhaps I misunderstand the base concern, but it's best to address
things functionally -- what's the user problem you want to solve, rather
than mixing programming concepts in with it straight up and asking how
to do that.
There is likely an easier way than trying to do what you want to do --
anyway, --ksmeta templating variables are meant to be strings, not data
structures.
