Rendering string templates

// In controller, model, or anywhere Phalcon Di is available
$view       = $this->getDI()->getShared('view');
$template   = "The quick {{ color }} {{ animal }} jumps over the
               lazy {{ pet }}.";

$view->color    = 'brown';
$view->animal   = 'fox';
$view->pet      = 'dog';

// Simple, immediate rendering
echo $view->renderString($template);

// Hierarchical rendering
$view
