Thanks to this discussion and some chatter on IRC, I realized that the
old `import_templates` interface was the mixin interface, and the
`alias` method was the delegation interface.
So now I've un-deprecated `alias` and will document it as the
delegation interface. And I've changed `mix` and the still-deprecated
`import_templates` so that they now have the class into which they are
imported be the invocant.
So what this means, in the end, is that the code is now different from
when I started in the following ways:
* `alias` now creates much more efficient aliases, and supports an
`into` parameter
* `mix` is the new name for `import_templates` and also supports an
`into` parameter
* `mix` and `alias` can now both be called with package variables
assigned, optionally via the `setting` keyword.
* `import_templates` is deprecated but works the same as always.
In short, I've added some new features, simplified the code, but have
not broken compatibility in any way that I know of.
Best,
David
