 where template_redirect fires (either before or after the template loader
 runs) but the idea is to stop the standard template loader from running if
 there is an alternate loader present.

 Current theme supports? constants? Sounds scary to me.

 Okay let's say if you have used current_theme_supports 'theme-templates'
 or 'WP_THEME_TEMPLATE', what do you do with the action theme_template?
 check for same is_* and load files with different name??

 You can either use 'template_redirect' or 'template_include' action to
 load whatever template you want.

 Or did I get you wrong?
