Why without extension? As said, we already have grok.PageTemplateFile, 
you use it this way:

food = grok.PageTemplateFile(os.path.join('templatedirectoryname',
                                           'food.pt'))

Of course, that sucks, so perhaps we should change it to take the 
setting of grok.templatedir() into account or the default setting if 
that's not present (<module>_templates).

Agreed.
