Edit Template or Edit Additional Templates in Visual Studio XAML without all the Bloat

If you've worked with XAML for a while and customized controls like Buttons, ListView, etc., you are familiar with what happens when you use Visual Studio's Edit Template functionality. You get a copy of the entire underlying Template or Style of the control. This can be many lines of code added to your XAML which drowns out the important stuff. Then you want to change one or two properties in that pile of XAML. Hardly worth it. In this post, I offer you a way to help with that and make your code more readable and maintainable.
