 * 
 *   Template Boundaries Processors are a kind of processors that execute on the template start and
 *   template end events fired during template processing. They allow to perform any kind of
 *   initialization or disposal of resources at beginning or end of the template processing operation. Note
 *   that these events are only fired for the first-level template, and not for each of the fragments
 *   that might be parsed and/or included into the template being processed.
