VelocityScreen is presenting the method doBuildTemplate(data, context)
as a convenience for screens which extend it, so that you do not have to
go to the trouble of getting it out of RunData in every screen. The
context is stored in RunData as it is available to other modules such as
actions and navigations.
You are supposed to override the doBuildTemplate(data, context) method.
