Per request, noted that project templates use support library
objects, and explained that (e.g.) this means they can provide
material design features on older devices.

The templates use <a href=
"{@docRoot}tools/support-library/features.html">support library</a> objects
if such objects are available. The support library objects make new features
available on the widest range of platforms. For example, since the templates
use the <a href=
"{@docRoot}tools/support-library/features.html#v7-appcompat">appcompat

principles even if they are running on older Android devices that do not
directly support material design.
