+ * When this file/class is present, page using template “home” will use this 
+ * class “HomePage” rather than class “Page”. You can do the same for any 
+ * other templates. For example, template “basic-page” would have a class 
+ * named “BasicPagePage” and template “admin” would have “AdminPage”, etc.
