Comment (by benallfree):

 After further testing, this solution is incomplete because it interferes
 with the template file structure and capability discovery process.

 For example, renaming 'index.php' in a template folder makes it appear
 broken to WordPress. Also, support for page templates is missing if they
 don't have the correct file extension or commenting at the top.

 If different template file formats were to be supported, we would need to
 hook into the template structure/capability discovery process.
