Default "__tera_one_off" template name used for the string templates creates confusion
Tera provides two methods which allows to render the templates without a name and clear posibility to derive a name from somewhere (filename, for example). Though for the code consistency Tera internals consideres name required. That is why default value was introduced.
The issue with this default value is that is requires to be mentioned in docs explicitly. It contains not enough information on its own. Consider something like "NAMELESS STRING TEMPLATE" default name to compare how it could make error messages easier to comprehend even without additional mentions in documentation.
The biggest issue with this improvement is that it better to be postponed for major release since it could break error handling implemented by the library users.
Yep, this will get changed for the next major version, probably no need to change it now though.
Did you changed it already? I can create a PR into separate branch, dedicated for the next major release. Will you plan to create such branch?
