Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing devtool create entry point and the issue's references to Plop and Handlebars. Define how the language-agnostic templating and project/file generation API should relate to .devtool.yml. Done means the API and generator behavior are specified and implemented for the stated configuration and project-template use cases.
