 Template functions could be dynamically loaded in a similar way to how
 Tests are loaded. We could create a new directory e.g. Functions/ where
 they would be located. I discussed this with Jirka when we talked on the
 topic of directly using python commands in the recipes. It would also make
 template functions more universal and flexible.

 Implementation of this shouldn't be too complicated. But the more
 important question is how could this be used. The problem I see here is
 that currently template functions are used to access internal data of the
 controller. However the dynamically loaded functions shouldn't be able to
 do this because they either wouldn't see the internal data structures or
 it would be too confusing if they somehow did.

 If you have any suggestions/ideas of use cases or on the other hand you
 think this is a bad idea please add a comment.
