Yes. It never worked and it has long been on my TODO list.

If you look inside the template .xcode, there is a plist named 
something like TemplateInfo.plist.  It contains the rules for doing 
substitutions on filenames and matches certain file references with 
substitution characters in the project file itself.   Given that it was 
written in the context of PyObjC in the first place, we could always 
use NSDictionary to load the plist and perform/unperform the 
substitutions as a part of working with the template.
