I thought I saw, I took this to mean you were advocating two sets of
templates, those that are used for new files & those that are inserted
into existing files??  Which of course implies some form of insert
into operation which I took to mean menu->edit->insert comment.

But I see from templates.c that this is pretty hard coded

What I thought it could do was offer the files in templates/includes
as extras to that menu like " menu->file->new with template" does for
templates/files and that was basically what you were suggesting,
except for the place to get the files from.

No I read templates/* to include templates/files so they would be
included in the list, I was suggesting to exclude them.  Probably
still better to have custom includes in a separate directory from the
standard ones though, easier to manage.
