For me, this:
> {% decorate (either "a.html" or "b.html") %}
is enough of a reason to reject this proposal -- I fundamentally have
no idea what this is trying to say, or why it's trying to say it this
way. Why does a base template need to reference the names of the
templates that descend from it? For me, this is completely bass
ackwards.
I'm also slightly confused as to why your proposal isn't already covered by:
template.html
{% block decorated %}
middle
{% endblock %}
a.html
{% extends template.html %}
{% block decorated %}left {{ block.super }} right{% endblock %}
b.html
{% extends template.html %}
{% block decorated %}first {{ block.super }} last{% endblock %}
