Caches and cache clearing seems to actually work, but the actual architecture is kind of messy. Next: CLEAN UP.

  * only one of partial_name or :as will be available as a local
  * `object` is removed
  * Simplify _layout_for in most cases.
    * Remove <% render :partial do |args| %>
    * <% render :partial do %> still works fine

  * Call _evaluate_assigns_and_ivars at the two entry points so we don't have to
    do a check at every render.
  * Make template.render viable without having to go through a wrapper method
  * Remove old TemplateHandler#render(template, local_assigns) path so we don't have
    to set self.template every time we render a template.
  * Move Template rescuing code to Template#render so it gets caught every time.
  * Pull in some tests from Pratik that test render @object in ActionView

Further experimentation. Was able to cut the cost of rendering 100 partials in a collection in half.

  To discuss: What are the desired semantics (if any) for layouts in a collection. There are no
  tests for it at present, and I'm not sure if it's needed at all.

  Deprecated on this branch: `object` pointing at the current object in partials. You can still
  use the partial name, or use :as to achieve the same thing. This is obviously up for discussion.

  * It is not possible to always pre-determine the layout before going to ActionView.
    This was *already* broken for render :partial => @object, :layout => true. This is
    now handled by overriding render_to_body in layouts.rb and manually injecting the
    partial's response. This needs to be done in ActionController since ActionController
    knows enough to get _layout_for_option. There is probably a better abstraction here.
  * As a result, all partial rendering can correctly restrict their layouts to the mime
    type of the rendered partial. This could have previously caused a bug in some edge cases.
  * If other layout-like options are added, they might need to add special code for the
    case of render :partial. We should try to think of an alternate solution, if possible,
    but this works for the cases we know of now.

  * TODO: Review ActionController calling render_template for certain partials.
    Might we be able to save logic by always delegating to AV's render_partial?

  * _render_single_template, which renders a template without layout
  * _render_partial_unknown_type, which renders a partial of unknown type
    (the entry method for most partial rendering; supports strings, objects, and collections)
  * _render_partial_object, which renders a partial for a single object.
  * extracted _render_partial_path so it can be used to render the spacer without going
    through the public render :partial

  * rename _render_partial to _render_partial_unknown_type to reflect that for this call, 
  	we don't know the type.
  * Merge _render_partial_with_block and _render_partial_with_layout to _render_partial
    * TODO: Check to see if any more logic can be shared
    * TODO: See about streamlining block path so we can get rid of @_proc_for_layout
  * Remove @exempt_from_layout as it is no longer needed

  * remove no longer used _array_like_objects
  * _render_content_with_layout renamed to _render_content since layout it optional
  * remove check for optional layout before _render_content

Break up DependencyModule's dual function of providing a "depend_on" DSL and "included" block DSL into separate modules. But, unify both approaches under AS::Concern.

  * Decouple from ActionController and ActionMailer
  * Bring back localization support.
  * Prepare to decouple templates from the filesystem.
  * Prepare to decouple localization from ActionView
  * Fix ActionMailer to take advantage of ActionView::Path

Ensure the template format is always passed to the template finder. Now we can cleanup some nasty stuff.

Changed the default of ActionView#render to assume partials instead of files when not given an options hash [DHH]
