Twitter typeahead.js: Possible to use Angular JS as template engine? If not how do I replace "{{}}" for Hogan/Mustache js?

Question

I am working with twitter's typeahead.js and I was wondering if it was possible to modify hogan.js to use something other than {{}}?

I am looking at the minified code now and I have no idea what to change for something so simple. Doing a find and replace breaks it.

I am asking this mainly because I'm using Angular JS but twitter's typeahead requires a templating engine, causing hogan and angular's {{}} to clash. An even better solution would be simply modifying Angular JS (I know it's not a templating engine) and ditching Hogan to fit the following criteria:

Any template engine will work with typeahead.js as long as it adheres to the following API:

// engine has a compile function that returns a compiled template
var compiledTemplate = ENGINE.compile(template);

// compiled template has a render function that returns the rendered template
// render function expects the context to be first argument passed to it
var html = compiledTemplate.render(context);

Ignore the documentation on this, just look at the source code:

function compileTemplate(template, engine, valueKey) {
    var renderFn, compiledTemplate;
    if (utils.isFunction(template)) {
        renderFn = template;
    } else if (utils.isString(template)) {
        compiledTemplate = engine.compile(template);
        renderFn = utils.bind(compiledTemplate.render, compiledTemplate);
    } else {
        renderFn = function(context) {
            return "<p>" + context[valueKey] + "</p>";
        };
    }
    return renderFn;
}

It happens you can just pass a function to template, callable with a context object which contains the data you passed in the datum objects at the time of instantiation, so:

$('#economists').typeahead({
  name: 'economists',
  local: [{
    value: 'mises',
    type: 'austrian economist',
    name: 'Ludwig von Mises'
  }, {
    value: 'keynes',
    type: 'keynesian economist',
    name: 'John Maynard Keynes'
  }],
  template: function (context) {
    return '<div>'+context.name+'<span>'+context.type.toUpperCase()+'</span></div>'
  }
})
