A good point, but I'll stick by this one as a convenience feature.

I like the fact that you can install a generator and then forget about 
it.  It will get called at the right time to do it's thing.  

Although it is easy to change the INCLUDE_PATH, it's something that 
you have to write extra code in your script or handler to do.  It may
require you to delve into understanding TT internals or the request 
cycle a little deeper than you otherwise might want to.

Well, OK, it's not that hard, maybe you're right.  But it's not a
new configuration option, just a new "feature" of an existing one,
so I'm sticking with it :-)

It is a valid concern, though.  Creeping featurism is a sickness that 
we would like to avoid, and it's worth us keeping that in mind.
