Comment (by mitar):
It is true that `origin` is currently used only for debugging purposes,
but it could be used for much more. For example, in
[https://github.com/stephenmcd/django-overextends django-overextends] it
would allow to better detect cycles between templates. If a tag could know
what is the filename of the current template it would know which templates
it has to find when extending templates with the same name (should it hide
the current one to prevent a cycle or not - it should hide only if current
template filename is the same as the filename in `extends`).
It is true that only origin name would be needed, not whole origin (with
template content).
