It'd be nice to be able to specify an altenate template file to be
used for some pages. For example, I'd like most of my pages to use
page.tmpl but I want my front page to be formatted in some unique way,
so I'd like it to use a separate front.tmp template instead.

I'm not sure what syntax to use for this, (\[[template]] seems to be
taken for another purpose already). Perhaps something like
\[[page-template front]] ?).

Joey provided a nice suggestion for implementing this feature, ("I
would probably add a hook that allowed overriding the default template
constuction and returning a template object"). I did start looking
into that, but finally I wimped out and just put the following hack
into the `genpage()` function in Render.pm:


	if ($page eq 'index') {
		$template->param(suppresstitle => 1);
	}

That lets me use a `<TMPL_UNLESS SUPPRESSTITLE>` in my template to get
the effect I want. I don't think that's anything that upstream should
pick-up as is, (maybe with an appropriate configuration option, but
then again allowing for per-page template selection would be more
powerful anyway). But I'm happy enough now that I probably won't
pursue implementing this feature further myself.

But I'd still happily switch to using this feature if someone were to
implement it.
