Here's a common use case:

A template is found by select_template, however, this template extends an ""base.html"" whose is located in the same directory, which is unknown until runtime as well. So the extends tag fails. 

If select_template returns the location of the template it finds, then this info could be passed into an context and thus make the extends tag useful again."	New feature	closed	Template system	dev	Normal	duplicate			Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
