* Nunjucks + Express
* I couldn't find anything that helped me setup the enviornment
* correctly for these in the latest vesion of Express 4 (at the time
* of writing this).
*
* This Gist for those that want to keep using Nunjucks with Express 4.
* This also goes over working with a Nunjucks environment to use custom
* filters, extensions, etc.
*
* You view files should have ".nunjucks" as the extension.
