It isn't *better* than a Folder of Scripts, it's *different* :-) I have two weak use-cases, a longstanding "I'm going to write that some day" itch, and some aesthetic arguments.
Actually, the restricted case is the one which has the real win; the "free-floating" library is pretty, but not semanticaally needed. An added argument: a ZPT with its own private library becomes, in effect, a Zope3 view component; adopting such beasts will ease migration to Zope3.
Well, I'm completely convinced :-) I'm not quite sure about the metaphor for binding a library to a template yet, though.
Could libraries be added to folders as first-class objects (you want to be able to share them between templates easily, no?) and "bound" to the templates using a tab on either them or the templates? Their icons would be overlaid with a visual indication of if they are bound or not.
Or, could you bind them at run-time using a new tal directive? (not likely to be a popular suggestion, I know)
