Thanks Nathan.
I'm still confused.

So if my MyTempl was named "tf1", calling MyTempl.ParseFiles() with more
than one files will have new templates created according to each of the
passed filename? Or the template name never changes regardless how many
files are passed in `ParseFiles()`?
I.e., for
MyTempl := tt.New("tf1")
MyTempl.ParseFiles("tf1")
MyTempl.ParseFiles("tf1","tf2")
Would MyTempl have different template names after above each statement? If
so, then which one does the `MyTempl.Execute()` uses?
