 > why not add a single-ID.php

 A better question to ask is "why?"   If every "why not?" feature was
 added, we'd be drowning in code bloat.  Is there a specific need for this?
 It seems highly unlikely that people are going to create custom templates
 for posts.  Are they supposed to know the post ID ahead of time?  Or is
 this for creating specific templates for old posts?  Why?  Pages are more
 likely to require a specific template, but we already have the Page
 Templates feature handling that.
