Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 So I'm now working on a plugin to make it easy to add rewrite rules by
 specifying templates.

 However, I'm still running into numerous "challenges" with core. For
 example, if I add the following rewrite rule as the first "courses/(.*)"
 it gets matched but $wp_query->is_home is set to true. It seems that
 $wp->parse_query() doesn't know how to handle a "custom" rewrite rule.

 Further, there appears to be no way to tell WordPress to not query posts.
 There are many use cases where I don't want to automatically run a query
 for posts in the database;

 Can I get confirmation that these issues I mention are not intended
 behavior and also some indication on what would be an acceptable way to
 get these issues resolved?
