I don't know if this is a bottleneck IRL, but while doing some
performance testing I noticed that this method allocates a bunch of
objects and I decided to fix it.
Here is the benchmark I used:
```ruby
require_relative 'theme_runner'
Liquid::Template.error_mode = ARGV.first.to_sym if ARGV.first
profiler = ThemeRunner.new
def count_alloc
before = GC.stat(:total_allocated_objects)
yield
GC.stat(:total_allocated_objects) - before
end
profiler.render # heat
p count_alloc { profiler.render }
p count_alloc { profiler.render }
p count_alloc { profiler.render }
```
Before this change:
```
[aaron@tc-lan-adapter ~/g/liquid (master)]$ ruby -I lib performance/run_once.rb
15753
15750
15752
```
After this change:
```
[aaron@tc-lan-adapter ~/g/liquid (master)]$ ruby -I lib performance/run_once.rb
14015
14010
14011
```
About an 11% reduction in allocations for this test. I also added some
tests around the current behavior of the method so we can be more sure
the replacement behaves the same way
