Yeah, that's not what I was talking about though...

If I did:

myview.pt
---------
<html metal:use-macro="context/@@my_macro">
<div fill-slot="foo">
blah
</div>
</html>

...then we're looking at least at an adapter looking, probably some 
security checks in the traversal, and who knows what else.

Is there anything wrong with just having the page template as a 
module-level global and importing from there?

cheers,

Chris
