Need to be able to dynamically add methods.

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/

When mason cannot find a requested template file it throws an exception. Unfortunately if this happens inside a __toString method this causes a fatal error which cannot be caught and provides little information as to why the application died.

Possible solutions:

• Have an error reporting level (EXCEPTION|WARN|IGNORE|LOG) for development, testing, and production.
• Detect if a __toString method is anywhere on the callstack and use trigger_error instead (not a fan of this one).
• Just always print a warning (is problematic in a production setting when errors should not appear to the user)

Mason should use set_error_handler to return a list of errors from render instead of rendering them into the source of the page.

Sometimes you want to append or prepend something to the parent's content instead of replacing it outright. This is not currently possible with append/prepend because they work only in the parent template. To that end we should add before and after functions that work outside of the normal blocks and are only concatenated after the block is full processed.

For example:

===File A===

===File B===

<?php $after('content')?>
<div>After</div>
<?php $end('content')?>

===File C===

<?php $before('content')?>
<div>Before</div>
 <?php $end('content")?>

<?php $block('content')?>
<div>Override</div>
<?php $end('content')?>

Would produce:
