Template collections need parameters and directories.

```mlld
>> Wrong
import { @tpl } from "./file.att"           >> single file
import templates from "./agents" as @agents  >> missing params

>> Correct
exe @tpl(x) = template "./file.att"          >> single file
import templates from "./agents" as @agents(message, context)
```
