        *context*
         this is one of three things:
         1. None - we're viewing a "home" page
         2. The current class of item being displayed. This is an HTMLClass
            instance.
         3. The current item from the database, if we're viewing a specific
            item, as an HTMLItem instance.
        *request*
          Includes information about the current request, including:
           - the url
           - the current index information (``filterspec``, ``filter`` args,
             ``properties``, etc) parsed out of the form. 
           - methods for easy filterspec link generation
           - *user*, the current user node as an HTMLItem instance
           - *form*, the current CGI form information as a FieldStorage
        *config*
          The current tracker config.
        *db*
          The current database, used to access arbitrary database items.
        *utils*
          This is a special class that has its base in the TemplatingUtils
          class in this file. If the tracker interfaces module defines a
          TemplatingUtils class then it is mixed in, overriding the methods
