Please don't.   That would break quite a few folks existing template 
usage in my userbase.

Cobbler snippets are actually implemented as:

    "#def SNIPPET($file)",
        "#set $fullpath = $find_snippet($file)",
        "#if $fullpath",
            "#include $fullpath",
        "#else",
            "# Error: no snippet data for $file",
        "#end if",
    "#end def",

Please please please don't do this.

API breakage when needing to support things all the way from 
RHEL/CentOS-4 through Fedora-latest is fun enough without having to code 
workarounds.   It happens, of course, but I find this feature to be 
quite useful.
