#  * allowing print to have a hash ref as final args will cause problems
#    if you do this: [% view.print(hash1, hash2, hash3) %].  Current
#    work-around is to do [% view.print(hash1); view.print(hash2);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

TODO

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new($context, \%config)

Creates a new Template::View presenting a custom view of the specified 
$context object.

A reference to a hash array of configuration options may be passed as the 
second argument.

=over 4

=item prefix

Prefix added to all template names.

[% USE view(prefix => 'my_') %]
    [% view.view('foo', a => 20) %]     # => my_foo

=item suffix

Suffix added to all template names.

[% USE view(suffix => '.tt2') %]
    [% view.view('foo', a => 20) %]     # => foo.tt2

=item map

Hash array mapping reference types to template names.  The print() 
method uses this to determine which template to use to present any
particular item.  The TEXT, HASH and ARRAY items default to 'test', 
'hash' and 'list' appropriately.

[% USE view(map => { ARRAY   => 'my_list', 
                         HASH    => 'your_hash',
                         My::Foo => 'my_foo', } ) %]

[% view.print(some_text) %]         # => text
    [% view.print(a_list) %]            # => my_list
    [% view.print(a_hash) %]            # => your_hash
    [% view.print(a_foo) %]             # => my_foo

[% BLOCK text %]
       Text: [% item %]
    [% END %]

[% BLOCK my_list %]
       list: [% item.join(', ') %]
    [% END %]

[% BLOCK your_hash %]
       hash keys: [% item.keys.sort.join(', ')
    [% END %]

[% BLOCK my_foo %] 
       Foo: [% item.this %], [% item.that %]
    [% END %]

=item method

Name of a method which objects passed to print() may provide for presenting
themselves to the view.  If a specific map entry can't be found for an 
object reference and it supports the method (default: 'present') then 
the method will be called, passing the view as an argument.  The object 
can then make callbacks against the view to present itself.

package Foo;

sub present {
        my ($self, $view) = @_;
        return "a regular view of a Foo\n";
    }

sub debug {
        my ($self, $view) = @_;
        return "a debug view of a Foo\n";
    }

In a template:

[% USE view %]
    [% view.print(my_foo_object) %]     # a regular view of a Foo

[% USE view(method => 'debug') %]
    [% view.print(my_foo_object) %]     # a debug view of a Foo

=item default

Default template to use if no specific map entry is found for an item.

[% USE view(default => 'my_object') %]

[% view.print(objref) %]            # => my_object

If no map entry or default is provided then the view will attempt to 
construct a template name from the object class, substituting any 
sequence of non-word characters to single underscores, e.g.

# 'fubar' is an object of class Foo::Bar
    [% view.print(fubar) %]             # => Foo_Bar

Any current prefix and suffix will be added to both the default template 
name and any name constructed from the object class.

=item notfound

Fallback template to use if any other isn't found.

=item item

Name of the template variable to which the print() method assigns the current
item.  Defaults to 'item'.

[% USE view %]
    [% BLOCK list %] 
       [% item.join(', ') %] 
    [% END %]
    [% view.print(a_list) %]

[% USE view(item => 'thing') %]
    [% BLOCK list %] 
       [% thing.join(', ') %] 
    [% END %]
    [% view.print(a_list) %]

=item view_prefix

Prefix of methods which should be mapped to view() by AUTOLOAD.  Defaults
to 'view_'.

[% USE view %]
    [% view.view_header() %]                    # => view('header')

[% USE view(view_prefix => 'show_me_the_' %]
    [% view.show_me_the_header() %]             # => view('header')

=item view_naked

Flag to indcate if any attempt should be made to map method names to 
template names where they don't match the view_prefix.  Defaults to 0.

[% USE view(view_naked => 1) %]

[% view.header() %]                 # => view('header')
