You're on to something here. Then, as usual, from idea to realization 
there are quite a few steps.

I took a complementary approach in TDPL: there's no chapter on templates 
at all. Templates are naturally interwoven with whatever topic is at 
hand, wherever they're useful. I hoped people would learn templates 
without even knowing it.
