     *
     * $theme specifies the theme name of the active theme and all its base
     * themes.
     *
     * This dispatch function hands off the passed-in variables to type-specific
     * $theme_TYPE_alter() implementations in the active theme. It ensures a
     * consistent interface for all altering operations.
     *
     * A maximum of 2 alterable arguments is supported. In case more arguments
     * need to be passed and alterable, modules provide additional variables
     * assigned by reference in the last $context argument:
     * @code
     *   $context = array(
     *     'alterable' => &$alterable,
     *     'unalterable' => $unalterable,
     *     'foo' => 'bar',
     *   );
     *   $this->alter('mymodule_data', $alterable1, $alterable2, $context);
     * @endcode
     *
     * Note that objects are always passed by reference. If it is absolutely
     * required that no implementation alters a passed object in $context, then an
     * object needs to be cloned:
     * @code
     *   $context = array(
     *     'unalterable_object' => clone $object,
     *   );
     *   $this->alter('mymodule_data', $data, $context);
     * @endcode
     *
     * @param string|array $type
     *   A string describing the type of the alterable $data. 'form', 'links',
     *   'node_content', and so on are several examples. Alternatively can be an
     *   array, in which case $theme_TYPE_alter() is invoked for each value in the
     *   array. When Form API is using $this->alter() to
     *   execute both $theme_form_alter() and $theme_form_FORM_ID_alter()
     *   implementations, it passes array('form', 'form_' . $form_id) for $type.
     * @param mixed $data
     *   The variable that will be passed to $theme_TYPE_alter() implementations
     *   to be altered. The type of this variable depends on the value of the
     *   $type argument. For example, when altering a 'form', $data will be a
     *   structured array. When altering a 'profile', $data will be an object.
     * @param mixed $context1
     *   (optional) An additional variable that is passed by reference.
     * @param mixed $context2
     *   (optional) An additional variable that is passed by reference. If more
     *   context needs to be provided to implementations, then this should be an
     *   associative array as described above.
     *
     * @see \Drupal\Core\Extension\ModuleHandlerInterface
