These notes mainly talk about things you would a) move or b) remove -- are
there any (major or minor) features you are toying with adding, or would like
to add once you remove some things that are blockers, or anything like that?

You listed caching as something that would be part of Framework, not Template.
I'm not sure that cache_self makes sense there.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure
where it does make sense.

Knowing expiration/key (basically, metadata about the stash) seems like a
controller function.  Knowing the layout and makeup of templates seems like a
view function.  cache_self requires both to be in one place.

I would hate to give up cache_self; it's one of the things I have grown to
really appreciate about mason vs. TT.
