 There may be a good reason for this I'm unaware of, but the template
 loader (wp-includes/template-loader.php) does not use the appropriate
 sounding load_template() function.

 The only differences are

  * A potentially smaller number of globals included, as load_templates()
 globalises a smaller list.
  * Query vars are extracted automatically.

 In my plugin, I'm trying to make things easier for our theme folks by
 populating the appropriate data automatically.  This is possible through
 the load_template() function because I can push data into
 $wp_query->query_vars and it will be extract()ed into local variables that
 are available in the template.

 This is *not* possible in things like single-page.php, because template-
 loader.php just includes the template file it finds instead of
 load_template()ing it.

 I have attached the one line patch to change this.  If the reduced number
 of globals would be a problem, it is also easy to include an
 "extract($GLOBALS);" in load_template() as well.
