/**
 * A template class that supports advanced functionality like:
 *
 * - Autofilling arrays using templates and sub-templates
 * - Conditional processing with basic comparison operators
 * - Basic math function support
 * - Execute arbitrary inline code with special built-in template variables
 * - Custom member functions
 * - Many special tags and built-in operators that aren't defined as part of the API, but are supported in the templates that can be created
 *
 * XTemplate provides the templating mechanism built into {@link Ext.view.View}.
 *
 * The {@link Ext.Template} describes the acceptable parameters to pass to the constructor. The following examples
 * demonstrate all of the supported features.
 *
 * # Sample Data
 *
 * This is the data object used for reference in each code example:
 *
 *     var data = {
 *         name: 'Don Griffin',
 *         title: 'Senior Technomage',
 *         company: 'Sencha Inc.',
 *         drinks: ['Coffee', 'Water', 'More Coffee'],
 *         kids: [
 *             { name: 'Aubrey',  age: 17 },
 *             { name: 'Joshua',  age: 13 },
 *             { name: 'Cale',    age: 10 },
 *             { name: 'Nikol',   age: 5 },
 *             { name: 'Solomon', age: 0 }
 *         ]
 *     };
 *
 * # Auto filling of arrays
 *
 * The **tpl** tag and the **for** operator are used to process the provided data object:
 *
 * - If the value specified in for is an array, it will auto-fill, repeating the template block inside the tpl
 *   tag for each item in the array.
 * - If for="." is specified, the data object provided is examined.
 * - While processing an array, the special variable {#} will provide the current array index + 1 (starts at 1, not 0).
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *     <tpl for=".">...</tpl>       // loop through array at root node
 *     <tpl for="foo">...</tpl>     // loop through array at foo node
 *     <tpl for="foo.bar">...</tpl> // loop through array at foo.bar node
 *
 * Using the sample data above:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for=".">',       // process the data.kids node
 *             '<p>{#}. {name}</p>',  // use current array index to autonumber
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data.kids); // pass the kids property of the data object
 *
 * An example illustrating how the **for** property can be leveraged to access specified members of the provided data
 * object to populate the template:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Title: {title}</p>',
 *         '<p>Company: {company}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',     // interrogate the kids property within the data
 *             '<p>{name}</p>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);  // pass the root node of the data object
 *
 * Flat arrays that contain values (and not objects) can be auto-rendered using the special **`{.}`** variable inside a
 * loop. This variable will represent the value of the array at the current index:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>{name}\'s favorite beverages:</p>',
 *         '<tpl for="drinks">',
 *             '<div> - {.}</div>',
 *         '</tpl>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
 *
 * When processing a sub-template, for example while looping through a child array, you can access the parent object's
 * members via the **parent** object:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<tpl if="age &gt; 1">',
 *                 '<p>{name}</p>',
 *                 '<p>Dad: {parent.name}</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
 *
 * # Conditional processing with basic comparison operators
 *
 * The **tpl** tag and the **if** operator are used to provide conditional checks for deciding whether or not to render
 * specific parts of the template.
 *
 * Using the sample data above:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<tpl if="age &gt; 1">',
 *                 '<p>{name}</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
 *
 * More advanced conditionals are also supported:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<p>{name} is a ',
 *             '<tpl if="age &gt;= 13">',
 *                 '<p>teenager</p>',
 *             '<tpl elseif="age &gt;= 2">',
 *                 '<p>kid</p>',
 *             '<tpl else>',
 *                 '<p>baby</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<p>{name} is a ',
 *             '<tpl switch="name">',
 *                 '<tpl case="Aubrey" case="Nikol">',
 *                     '<p>girl</p>',
 *                 '<tpl default>',
 *                     '<p>boy</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *
 * A `break` is implied between each case and default, however, multiple cases can be listed
 * in a single &lt;tpl&gt; tag.
 *
 * # Using double quotes
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         "<tpl if='age &gt; 1 && age &lt; 10'>Child</tpl>",
 *         "<tpl if='age &gt;= 10 && age &lt; 18'>Teenager</tpl>",
 *         "<tpl if='this.isGirl(name)'>...</tpl>",
 *         '<tpl if="id == \'download\'">...</tpl>',
 *         "<tpl if='needsIcon'><img src='{icon}' class='{iconCls}'/></tpl>",
 *         "<tpl if='name == \"Don\"'>Hello</tpl>"
 *     );
 *
 * # Basic math support
 *
 * The following basic math operators may be applied directly on numeric data values:
 *
 *     + - * /
 *
 * For example:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<tpl if="age &gt; 1">',  // <-- Note that the > is encoded
 *                 '<p>{#}: {name}</p>',  // <-- Auto-number each item
 *                 '<p>In 5 Years: {age+5}</p>',  // <-- Basic math
 *                 '<p>Dad: {parent.name}</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
 *
 * # Execute arbitrary inline code with special built-in template variables
 *
 * Anything between `{[ ... ]}` is considered code to be executed in the scope of the template.
 * The expression is evaluated and the result is included in the generated result. There are
 * some special variables available in that code:
 *
 * - **out**: The output array into which the template is being appended (using `push` to later
 *   `join`).
 * - **values**: The values in the current scope. If you are using scope changing sub-templates,
 *   you can change what values is.
 * - **parent**: The scope (values) of the ancestor template.
 * - **xindex**: If you are in a looping template, the index of the loop you are in (1-based).
 * - **xcount**: If you are in a looping template, the total length of the array you are looping.
 *
 * This example demonstrates basic row striping using an inline code block and the xindex variable:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Company: {[values.company.toUpperCase() + ", " + values.title]}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<div class="{[xindex % 2 === 0 ? "even" : "odd"]}">',
 *             '{name}',
 *             '</div>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *      );
 *
 * Any code contained in "verbatim" blocks (using "{% ... %}") will be inserted directly in
 * the generated code for the template. These blocks are not included in the output. This
 * can be used for simple things like break/continue in a loop, or control structures or
 * method calls (when they don't produce output). The `this` references the template instance.
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Company: {[values.company.toUpperCase() + ", " + values.title]}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '{% if (xindex % 2 === 0) continue; %}',
 *             '{name}',
 *             '{% if (xindex > 100) break; %}',
 *             '</div>',
 *         '</tpl></p>'
 *      );
 *
 * # Template member functions
 *
 * One or more member functions can be specified in a configuration object passed into the XTemplate constructor for
 * more complex processing:
 *
 *     var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
 *         '<p>Name: {name}</p>',
 *         '<p>Kids: ',
 *         '<tpl for="kids">',
 *             '<tpl if="this.isGirl(name)">',
 *                 '<p>Girl: {name} - {age}</p>',
 *             '<tpl else>',
 *                 '<p>Boy: {name} - {age}</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *             '<tpl if="this.isBaby(age)">',
 *                 '<p>{name} is a baby!</p>',
 *             '</tpl>',
 *         '</tpl></p>',
 *         {
 *             // XTemplate configuration:
 *             disableFormats: true,
 *             // member functions:
 *             isGirl: function(name){
 *                return name == 'Aubrey' || name == 'Nikol';
 *             },
 *             isBaby: function(age){
 *                return age < 1;
 *             }
 *         }
 *     );
 *     tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
