Use missingkey=zero rather than error in template rendering.#275
Conversation
When performing complex template rendering, it is helpful to be able to perform if statements based on the existence of a passed variable like `if .env`. The template runs fine if the variable is passed, but if it isn't the execution will stop because of the missingkey setting. This change proposes setting the missingkey value to zero rather than error. This means that rather than error out, the operation returns the zero value for the map type's element and the render execution can continue.
