Compiled templates are an unnecessary pain in maintance and
packaging. If each module is to bring its own templates, compiling
them in the build process becomes unnecessarily more complex. The
current state of template mess can somewhat be attributed to this.
Cheetah only partially supports dynamic templates. It does not support
inheritence of dynamic templates. From its documentation: "There is no
support for extending from a class that is not imported; e.g., from a
template dynamically created from a string. Since the most practical
way to get a parent template into a module is to precompile it, all
parent templates essentially have to be precompiled."
