 *  interface to encapsulate the 'stuff' for internal operation of velocity.
 *  We use the context as a thread-safe storage : we take advantage of the
 *  fact that it's a visitor  of sorts  to all nodes (that matter) of the
 *  AST during init() and render().
 *
 *  Currently, it carries the template name for namespace
 *  support, as well as node-local context data introspection caching.
