> Email from user group wildcard discussion on 10/05/2009:
> > Yet you can have a wildcard in the template definition. Isn't the 
> > parent just an extension of the template.
> The parent should be considered a half-filled template.
> However, I changed my mind. It is difficult to do, but not impossible, the wildcard-based definitions should be evaluated and resolved only when requested.
> Can you open a JIRA issue please? And if you want to submit a patch, you're welcome :-D
> Ciao
