[...] this experiment, which worked well:
mkdir ~/.templates

Perhaps Ubuntu could add support for having the templates in a hidden
folder such as `~/.templates`, and ship it just a single empty file, as
a starting example? I just tried this experiment, which worked well:
`mkdir ~/.templates

I think we all agree that this is a basic feature and removing it

Ubuntu has a patch ( 16_unity_new_documents.patch ) to enable a 'New
Document' function in the right-click context menu. This patch was not
ported to Nautilus 3.20 so this Ubuntu-specific feature is missing in
Ubuntu 16.10.
