>   Unfortunately, this doesn't work super well, when using the following flags:

There isn't a building block for a mapping dict holding mapping dicts, and
the formatter API doesn't support such structure either.

Fortunately, we don't need a formatter here since we just want to apply
a template to a single item. So if we had a wrapper for a single mapping
dict, the templater can be rendered as follows:

```
props = {
    'base': templateutil.mappingdict({'ctx': fca.changectx(), 'fctx': fca,
                                      'label': baselabel})
    ...
}
cmdutil.rendertemplate(fcd.changectx(), tmpl, props)
```

And `base.path`, `base.node`, etc. should just work.

I'll post the dict wrapper if you like the idea.

```
class mappingdict(mappable, _mappingsequence):
    """Wrapper for a single template mapping

    This isn't a sequence in a way that the underlying dict won't be iterated
    as a dict, but shares most of the _mappingsequence functions.
    """

    def __init__(self, mapping, name=None, tmpl=None):
        super(mappingdict, self).__init__(name, tmpl)
        self._mapping = mapping

    def tomap(self, context):
        return self._mapping

    def tobool(self, context, mapping):
        # no idea when a template mapping should be considered an empty, but
        # a mapping dict should have at least one item in practice, so always
        # mark this as non-empty.
        return True

    def tovalue(self, context, mapping):
        return super(mappingdict, self).tovalue(context, mapping)[0]
```
