Comment (by akaihola):
The idea of the patch above is that all `TemplateDoesNotExist` exceptions
encountered while compiling a template get changed to
`IncludedTemplateDoesNotExist` exceptions, which are then checked for in
`select_template()`.
This is kind of what Michael P. Jung suggested, except it's handled at the
loader level instead of in the `{% include %}` tag.
Therefore, I think this will catch sub-templates loaded with whatever
mechanism, not only with `{% include %}`.
Also, in case of a missing included template, the exception displayed is:
{{{
IncludedTemplateDoesNotExist: template_path/template_name.html
}}}
Does this make sense, or would Make Amy's patch or his suggestion for a
`template_name` exception attribute be a better approach? Some kind of a
fix would be nice since the current behavior can be really confusing.
