Description:
This class implements a compiled template engine.
It processes templates and generates PHP script files that generate
the template output when executed.
The template variables are defined as arrays which are extracted
into local variables before including the compiled template script
files.
The template engine supports variables with optional modifiers,
comments, including external template files, adding separate
Javascript and CSS style definitions, localized text, inline PHP
code, conditional sections and loops to iterate over array
variables.

Description:
This is an abstract class that can be used to dynamically add
variables to any class.
It should be extended by implementation classes so they can
automatically benefit from dynamic variables.
Attempts to set or get values to inexisting variables make these
base class automatically assign or retrieve values from the
specified variables.
