>>>>> I've implemented this functionality as part of `pagetemplate` as on my "pagetemplate" branch of ikiwiki at https://github.com/rubykat/ikiwiki/tree/pagetemplate - do you want to pull this, Joey?
>>>>> It isn't implemented quite the same way as Will did; I have the template name first and the pagespec last, but it does the same thing.
