* value for use in a template
*
* If the method to call is not included for a particular template variable, a method named the same as the
* template variable will be called
*
* If the casting class is not specified for a particular template variable, ViewableData::$default_cast is used

* - template name (no key)
* - template name => method name
* - template name => array(), where the array can contain these key => value pairs
* - "method" => method name
* - "casting" => casting class to use (i.e., Varchar, HTMLText, etc)
