27359	Make it possible to specify a default template engine	Artur Barseghyan	Carlton Gibson	"This is my first django ticket here. Please, forgive for possible mistakes.

Issue:
I want to be able to use a custom template engine (same DjangoTemplates, but with different settings). Multiple template engines seems to be a great feature, but it becomes not that usable with big projects that depend on third party packages (such as django-cms, wagtail, etc) - you have to tell each view/render to use the default engine, otherwise you get ""Several DjangoTemplates backends are configured. You must select one explicitly."" `ImproperlyConfigured` exception.

Solution:
It would be really useful if it would be possible to mark one of the template engines as default and choose alternative engine where desired.

Changes to :meth:`django.template.engine.get_default` and engine configuration (`TEMPLATES` setting) would be really trivial. I could make a patch if approved.

Thank you (in any case)!
