@ahgittin for 'template', is that really what it means in the product from
a user's perspective? Something declared as a 'template' will appear in the
quick launch, whereas other things will not. When you click on it in the 'quick
launch', then a dialog pops up with two buttons: `deploy` and `open in editor`.
The latter opens a simple text editor in the quick-launch dialog, rather than
re-directing to the blueprint composer.
Your description of 'template' is accurate for when this was originally
added to the code base, but I don't think that is what it does now, or how it
is used now. That description won't make sense to a user, based on how the
Brooklyn UI behaves.
