 * Represents an Embedded Template that can be used to instantiate Embedded Views.

 * (or directive prefixed with `*`) and have the `TemplateRef` for this Embedded View injected into

 * the constructor of the directive using the `TemplateRef` Token. Alternatively you can query for

 * the `TemplateRef` from a Component or a Directive via {@link Query}.

 *

 * To instantiate Embedded Views based on a Template, use

 * {@link ViewContainerRef#createEmbeddedView}, which will create the View and attach it to the

 * View Container.
