OK, I agree with this on a general basis (and I can also narrow to the
load_tmpl() specific situation my previous statement about hiding
external modules use in C::A apps, which could sound too general
really).

But then your considerations should apply also to the *existing*
load_tmpl() method, since it is a method conceived exactly as an
"interface to different contructors/methods of other commonly used
modules", as you said.

If we will implement load_tmpl_scalar_ref() somewhat out of C::A, as you
seem to suggest, we will end up in a situation where we can use the
internal load_tmpl() method when we want to load a template from a file,
while we have to resort to some external something when we want to load
a template from a text ref.

At least in this particular case, it's a little bit confusing, I
think...

I perfectly agree, on a general basis.
