which can be used to describe the template name, host, modification time of the
template file and the owner uid, C(template_host) contains the node name of
the template's machine, C(template_uid) the owner, C(template_path) the
relative path of the template, C(template_fullpath) is the absolute path of the
template, and C(template_run_date) is the date that the template was rendered."
