Comment (by coffee2code):

 I agree there is benefit to having a filter after the template search is
 complete.  I proposed it as part of the attached patch 13239.c2c.2.diff.
 Since @nacin wasn't so sure about as many filters as I originally
 proposed, I ultimately decided 13239.c2c.4.diff was most robust.

 One capability lost with the filter solely located after the template
 search is that you can't preempt the template search.  Something I'm keen
 to do is prevent WP from having to do `file_exists()` checks for certain
 template formats that I know will never exist (such as all the $id based
 templates -- category-15.php, post-245.php, etc -- that I never use).

 I'd be on board with ''also'' having the post-template-search filter that
 you favor (which I originally called 'located_template_located', but I
 don't mind whatever name it gets), but I'd like not to lose the pre-
 template-search filter.
