Whilst we're on the subject of Layout, is there anything on the radar 
for allowing more than one theme.tpl (or whatever the basic structure 
file is) where an admin gets to pick a different one depending on a 
module/pagemaster page/category.

eg. Say I wanted a 3 column links page but just BODY for a pagemaster 
page.

Currently, it's quite a bit of work, and not entirely optimal to hack 
around the one theme.tpl limit using theme.php and a couple of module 
hacks to allow more specific menuman/block positioning. I really want 
to get away from the nuke-esque feel sometimes on some sites.
