	```

	## Usage

	```js
	import template from "babel-template";
	import generate from "babel-generator";
	import * as t from "babel-types";

	const buildRequire = template(`
	var IMPORT_NAME = require(SOURCE);
	`);

	const ast = buildRequire({
	IMPORT_NAME: t.identifier("myModule"),
	SOURCE: t.stringLiteral("my-module")
	});

	console.log(generate(ast).code);
	```

	```js
	const myModule = require("my-module");
	```

	## API

	### `template(code, [opts])`

	#### code

	Type: `string`

	#### options

	`babel-template` accepts all of the options from [babylon], and specifies
	some defaults of its own:

	* `allowReturnOutsideFunction` is set to `true` by default.
	* `allowSuperOutsideMethod` is set to `true` by default.

	##### preserveComments

	Type: `boolean`
	Default: `false`

	Set this to `true` to preserve any comments from the `code` parameter.

	#### Return value

	`babel-template` returns a `function` which is invoked with an optional object
	of replacements. See the usage section for an example.
