Eleventy: Dynamic Titles from pagination

[braco]

Is there any way to get a dynamic title into data-driven / generated pages? I see there are quite a few issues about being unable to get interpolation into frontmatter, but is there no workaround?

This is a huge missing feature if so, do all of the data-driven 11ty sites just have terrible SEO?

It would otherwise look like this:

pagination:
  data: personList
  size: 1
  alias: person
title: {{person.name}}
permalink: /{{ person.name | slug }}/index.html
---
<h1>{{person.name}}</h1>

Could you provide more details?
For example, the file structure (source and output), the data source (for person) and a snippet of the resulting HTML as you imagine it?

There is an example of this working with renderData here: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/255

I initially assumed that my renderData items would be merged into the top level, with e.g.

renderData:
  title: some {{ tag }}

making title available as a variable. I ended up using my variables like {{ title or (renderData and renderData.title) }}

Whoa Lyn that is an incredible idea. I really love that. I may add another feature that does this
