* anywhere, like in a database).
*
* The methods should accept any name. If the name is not an instance of
* TemplateReferenceInterface, a TemplateNameParserInterface should be used to
* convert the name to a TemplateReferenceInterface instance.
*
* Each template loader uses the logical template name to look for
* the template.
