Snippet alternatives

You can define an array of snippet alternatives if the first snippet cannot be found:

<?php snippet(['snippet1', 'snippet2', 'snippet3']) ?>

This is useful if you want to provide fallbacks for a snippet based on page input, in case the snippet does not exist:

<?php snippet(['articles/' . $page->postType(), 'articles/default']) ?>
