domain, collection, template

A template is always part of a collection
in a domain.

The implications of this are that those related objects are always
created, even if we are still free to create them
explicitly in any order we prefer.
Another implication is consistency and simplicity of the
implementation, reducing the need to handle other scenarios.

The preferred usage is to first explicitly create the Domain instance,
that will by default create the default empty string named
Collection.
