What I described is one of the ways for using µTemplate. (others beeing:
-menus (automatically built), -command :MuTemplate, -autocommand on
BufNewFile). 
The template-expansion function(s) and the search within directories
(visible from 'runtimepath') have been implemented only once.

From the outside, it looks like it is (technically) the same thing.
Thus my question: why not develop only a single generic function that
can used to insert general-templates, ``macros'' (or even packages ?) ?
May be I am wrong and you don't have to maintain three times the same
things -- which differs only by final names and directories.

My idea is that TTemplate, TMacros, ... would invoke the same function
but with different built-in parameters.
