I use the term 'meta' because it's not so clear how the construction
emerges; it is often not a single template, because that's relatively
easy to control, but rather some construction or composition with
components from 3rd party libs which you don't control. (I've made
that point elsewhere)
I use 'meta' to generally refer to any such machinery in any form.
