 > I got the impression that `pagetemplate` hooks are intended to be completely independent of `template` variables; page-template is for the actual `page.tmpl` template, while `template` is for other templates which are used inside the page content.  So I don't understand why one would need a run_hooks option. --[[KathrynAndersen]]

If Joey wants to integrate the functionality into IkiWiki proper, I would be very happy, but I don't want to put pressure on him. --[[KathrynAndersen]]

 Another missing thing is that `ftemplate` looks in
 the "system" templates directories, not just in the wiki, but that
 seems orthogonal (and might be a good enhancement to `template` anyway).
