 *confused*

 If you die in a get_header action, you kill the script before most of the
 page is even created. In our case, when get_sidebar is called, we'd want
 to grab the template, compile it to HAML and have Wordpress include the
 compiled HAML instead of its own template.

 The rest of the page still needs to be executed, and we need to be able to
 tell Wordpress not to include its template if we've included ours.
