Actually we should consider symmetry here, and since we already have:

foo = grok.PageTemplate('somethingorother')

we could also introduce:

bar = grok.PageTemplateFile('somefile') # without extension

this would be a lot more symmetrical than a new toplevel directive.

I think it's actually easier to read if it weren't shortened. It's not 
like we tend to have *that* many different templates even in very 
complicated applications.
