Passing Entry to craft()->templates->render() In looking over the docs on template rendering I am not seeing a way to pass in an Entry model. It seems more efficient to pass in an existing model rather than have the template do another lookup. Something like:

$html = craft()-&gt;templates-&gt;render('path/to/template', $myEntry); 


Here is my use case. I want to use the craft template rendering engine to compose email messages.
You can just pass in the EntryModel straight to the view.

$html = craft()-&gt;templates-&gt;render('path/to/template', [ 'entry' =&gt; $entryModel ]);
