A very simple view-service / template-engine for plain PHP templates.

I wanted a template engine that uses view-models (objects) rather than view-dictionaries (arrays) as are typical in most PHP template engines.

Oh, and if you don't like typing `htmlspecialchars()` all day, maybe try [this](https://github.com/mindplay-dk/escape).

The view-service is tied to a root folder and a root namespace:

```
$service = new ViewService(new SimpleViewFinder('my/app/views', 'app\view'));

$hello = new \app\view\HelloWorld();

$service->render($hello); // -> "my/app/views/HelloWorld.view.php"
```

The `render()` statement in this example will render the template `my/app/views/HelloWorld.view.php`, passing the view-model object to the rendered template as `$view` - the `SimpleViewFinder` is responsible for locating the actual template based on the type of view-model.

The `render()` method also accepts a second argument, allowing you to render different templates for the same view-model:

```
$service->render($hello, 'boom'); // -> "my/app/views/HelloWorld.boom.php"
$service->render($hello, 'bang'); // -> "my/app/views/HelloWorld.bang.php"
```

You can type-hint in the beginning of a template file for IDE support:

```

...
```

Alternatively, for type-safe template rendering, you can also type-hint statically, by returning a closure:

```
use app\view\HelloWorld;
use mindplay\kisstpl\Renderer;

...
