/**
* A block is a collection of static text and elements, and components, derived from a component template. In the
* template, a block is demarcated using the <t:block> or <t:parameter> elements. The interface defines no
* methods, but the provided implementations of Block are capable of rendering their contents on demand.
*
* Tapestry includes coercions from String to {@link org.apache.tapestry5.Renderable} and {@link
* org.apache.tapestry5.Renderable} to Block. This means that components that take Block parameters may be bound to
* literal strings, to arbitrary numbers (or other objects, with the expectation that they will be converted to
* strings), or to renderable objects such as components.
