I don't think this is appropriate functionality for the command line
client to have. If we do anything we should make it so people can
implement their own scripts to generate the templates.

Then people wanting the functionality can drop such scripts into their
config to handle this, rather than us trying to code configurability for
every imagineable workflow.
