... if you're using an asset spec for the template. If you're using a
filename and depending on the Mako search path, would this still
apply?

PS. When I read in the docs that you could make a Mako application
entirely with asset specs, you wouldn't need the Mako search path, but
when I tried it I couldn't get it to work. I may have had the wrong
asset syntax, or maybe it was just because my templates have an
inherited site template.

In any case, I don't think asset specs for Mako will become popular
unless there's a way to shorten the syntax.
'renderer="myapp:templates/abc.mako"' takes up so much space it forces
you to split the @view_config to multiple lines, which is not the case
in its TurboGears and CherryPy predecessors. If I just specify
"/abc.mako", it seems to not consider it an asset spec.
