Extends

Handles API backward compatibility by converting an array-based rendering instruction passed to `render()` as a process, to a set of rendering steps, rewriting any associated rendering parameters as necessary.

Parameters

array $command A deprecated rendering instruction, i.e. `array('template' => '/path/to/template')`.
array $params The array of associated rendering parameters, passed by reference.
array $defaults Default step rendering options to be merged with the passed rendering instruction information.

Returns

array Returns a converted set of rendering steps, to be executed in `render()`.

			return array(array('path' => key($command)) + $defaults);
		}
		return $command;
