Interesting idea. This could be useful to support in load_tmpl() as
well, as a way to provide more structure to how templates are named.

I have a question about the implementation. I was wondering why
'current_run_mode()' was not used to figure out the run mode. I saw
drawbacks to both solutions. 

With the current implementation, it won't work  if you try to use it
from a function called by a run mode, instead of calling it directly  
from a run mode. 

That could prehaps be improved if you walk up the caller stack until you 
you find a method that is mentioned in the run_modes() hash. If nothing
is found, it's probably the anonymous subroutine case.

Hmm, I wonder what this code does now with run modes that are anonymous
subs. :)

Using current_run_mode() would mean you won't have to worry about nested 
sub routine calls, but I don't think it would work right when one
run mode calls another one.
