You just have to change your way of thinking about the problem. Think about
the output tree you want. For each element you want to construct in the
output tree, think about where it needs to get its input from. Then write a
template rule that generates that element in the output tree, fetching its
input as required. In other words, think "how do I construct this part of
the output", not "what should I do with this part of the input".
