/**
  @brief The Context class holds the context to render a template with.

  For application developers, using the Context class is a matter of inserting keys and
  values as appropriate for rendering a template using the insert method.

  @code
    Template t = engine->newTemplate( "Name is {% name %} and age is {% age %}.", "some_template" );

    Context c1;
    c1.insert( "name", "Tom" );
    c1.insert( "age", 34 );

    Context c2;
    c2.insert( "name", "Harry" );
    c2.insert( "age", 43 );

    t->render(c1); // Returns "Name is Tom and age is 43."
    t->render(c2); // Returns "Name is Harry and age is 34."
  @endcode

  Note that one Template may be rendered multiple times with different contexts. Note also that any QVariant may be inserted
  into a Context object. Most commonly, QObjects will be used here.
  @see @ref custom_objects

  @section context_stack Context Stack.

  For template tag developers, some other Context API is relevant.

  It is possible to push and pop layers of context while a template is being rendered. This is useful if your template
  tag makes additional variables temporarily available in a part of a template. Template tags should only modify layers of context
  that they push themselves, and should pop any layers created before finishing its rendering step.

  See for example the @gr_tag{with} tag. In a template such as
  @code
    Some content
    {% with person.name|toUpper as lowerName %}
      Name is {% lowerName %}
    {% endwith %}
  @endcode

  In this case, lowerName is available in the context only between the @gr_tag{with} and @gr_tag{endwith} tags. The implementation of
  the @gr_tag{with} tag render method is:

  @code
    void WithNode::render( OutputStream *stream, Context *c )
    {
      c->push();
      // {% with m_filterExpression as m_name %}
      c->insert( m_name, m_filterExpression.resolve( c ) );
      m_list.render( stream, c );
      c->pop(); // The section of context defining m_name is removed.
    }
  @endcode

  Note that a context may temporarily override a variable in a parent context. This is why it is important to push a new context when
  adding items to context and pop it when finished.

  @code
    Some content
    {% with "foo" as var %}
      Var is {% var %}         // Var is "foo"
      {% with "bar" as var %}
        Var is {% var %}       // Var is "bar"
      {% endwith %}
      Var is {% var %}         // Var is "foo"
    {% endwith %}
  @endcode
