I'm glad you brought this up, because it's something that was bugging me
about AnyTemplate, that it only provides the one strategy for guessing
the template path.

This is what we use in the CAF (per-application template path), so this
is what went in to AnyTemplate.

...

I like both of these strategies as well.

Maybe CAP::TemplatePath should be its own plugin, and the user could
choose strategies at runtime?
