  /**
   * The `Polymer.Templatizer` behavior adds methods to generate instances of
   * templates that are each managed by an anonymous `Polymer.Base` instance.
   *
   * Example:
   *
   *     // Get a template from somewhere, e.g. light DOM
   *     var template = Polymer.dom(this).querySelector('template');
   *     // Prepare the template
   *     this.templatize(template);
   *     // Instance the template with an initial data model
   *     var instance = this.stamp({myProp: 'initial'});
   *     // Insert the instance's DOM somewhere, e.g. light DOM
   *     Polymer.dom(this).appendChild(instance.root);
   *     // Changing a property on the instance will propagate to bindings
   *     // in the template
   *     instance.myProp = 'new value';
   *
   * Users of `Templatizer` may need to implement the following abstract
   * API's to determine how properties and paths from the host should be
   * forwarded into to instances:
   *
   *     _forwardParentProp: function(prop, value)
   *     _forwardParentPath: function(path, value)
   *
   * Likewise, users may implement these additional abstract API's to determine
   * how instance-specific properties that change on the instance should be
   * forwarded out to the host, if necessary.
   *
   *     _forwardInstanceProp: function(inst, prop, value)
   *     _forwardInstancePath: function(inst, path, value)
   *
   * In order to determine which properties are instance-specific and require
   * custom forwarding via `_forwardInstanceProp`/`_forwardInstancePath`,
   * define an `_instanceProps` map containing keys for each instance prop,
   * for example:
   *
   *     _instanceProps: {
   *       item: true,
   *       index: true
   *     }
   *
   * Any properties used in the template that are not defined in _instanceProp
   * will be forwarded out to the host automatically.
   *
   * Users should also implement the following abstract function to show or
   * hide any DOM generated using `stamp`:
   *
   *     _showHideChildren: function(shouldHide)
   *
   * @polymerBehavior
