So this seems to mean we are looking for __base__ the same way we search 
for style. This seems very sensible.

I'm a bit more confused here. First, I would imagine our search priority 
would help two style next to each other be able to to work together. 
Second, does this means the working directory is in the template search 
path? If so how is it not an issue already?

The new feature is definitly neat and shiny, but if -we- cannot even use 
it for our most common template this looks like an hatching disaster.

Did I missed something?

(I've refrained myself to accept that changeset until this is clarified 
on my side).
