Sure.  

I'm certainly guilty of sins of "creative" template usage in the past;
but I've come to the opinion they tend to have quite subtle
interactions with other things not anticipated at the time of
hackery.  It is not all obvious for users and maintainers what a
particular constructs is supposed to do without re-digestion of a fair
bit amount of scattered contexts.  That was the point.  I by no means
discourage people to do experiments.  Experiments are good.  But, I'll
watch out when it comes to deliver :-)
