TIP: Since define() does not actually load the templates, it is faster
and more legible to define all the templates with one call to define().

Sometimes it is desireable to not have to create a separate template file
for each template (though in the long run it is usually better to do so).
The method define_nofile() allows you to do this.  For example, if you
were writing a news tool where you wanted to bold an item if it was
"new" you could do something like the following:

    my $tpl = new FastTemplate();

    $tpl->define_nofile(    new   => '<b>$ITEM_NAME</b> <BR>',
                            old   => '$ITEM_NAME <BR>');

    if ($new)
    {
        $tpl->parse($ITEM   => "new");
