I agree. The last few months, I've been working on a complex tree component that needs minor overrides for different usages. So far I've solved it by having almost identical templates for each variant. This new feature solves this nicely.
My company's software has some page layout implementations based on deep and complex inheritance, so I won't go there again after what I've seen :) It still hurts every time I need to adjust something in my tiles-config.xml.
