 * 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 use the logical template name to look for
 * the template.
