 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > I have spoken about this extensively with apeatling and jjj. We may be
 able to add a specific, targeted hook, or introduce a function or argument
 that exposes filters. But, I do not like the idea of "generic" filters
 that will run over and over again, especially against an area of the API
 that has so many file_exists checks and filters already running, so you
 can do nearly anything you want.

 It may be moot by now in that this idea might be accepted, but we are
 running into situations where we really need for hook functionality in
 `load_template()`, so +1 to adding more hooks here.
