Context & View Templates

DataContext and DataView both come with a template and default field. These can be used in downstream client implementations for enabling default context and/or view data for user agents. For example, Serrano checks if there is a default template defined for the resource if this is the requesting user's first time accessing it.

cxt = DataContext({...}, template=True, default=True)
cxt.save()

Many templates can be created for each type, but only one default can exist for each. Upon save, this will be checked to prevent ambiguity for downstream clients.
