I'm not sure I like this idea. It breaks out of the expected bounds of the
template system and doesn't seem to have a balance in favour of the idea.

Most of the header / footer template use cases I see IMHO should in fact be
handled using a new type of extension to add things, like nav to the header and
footer.

In the current example given we don't even need a special extension.
Practically all of the information being inserted into said template is
actually within the title and follows a near strict pattern.
In other words a simple basic header and footer powered by lua taking no
parameters could handle their entire use case. And if we felt like it a simple
extension could even automatically prepend/append the template output to the
pages following said pattern.
