=head1 NAME

Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like - TT2 Variable Method Clone For Text::Xslate

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Text::Xslate;

    my $xslate = Text::Xslate->new(
        module => [
            'Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like'
        ],
    );

    # Note that all methods require a set of parenthesis to be
    # recognized as a method.
    $xslate->render_string(
        '<: $foo.length() :>',
        { foo => "foo" }
    );

    $xslate->render_string(
        '<: $foo.replace("foo", "bar") :>',
        { foo => "foo" }
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like exports Template-Toolkit variable methods into
Text::Xslate namespace, such that you can use them on your variables.

The only difference between this module and Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2 is that
Bridge::TT2 uses Template::Toolkit underneath, while this module is independent
of Template::Toolkit and therefore does not require TT to be installed
