 * devs to create custom templates for any post type, not just pages as default in WordPress core.  The 
 * functions in this file create the template meta box and save the template chosen by the user when the 
 * post is saved.  This file is only used if the theme supports the 'hybrid-core-template-hierarchy' feature.
