Although the difference probably seems academic to everyone but me,
deftemplate is not a function, it is a construct. Constructs are part
of the language, and functions are not. Therefore constructs are
documented in chapter 2 (section 2.7.2,) while functions are in
chapter 7.
The physical difference is that there's a Userfunction class that
implements defclass, and another for definstance - but the deftemplate
"command" is implemented in the parser.
