  Well I guess is just you don't have enough Chameleon templates in your
  project :). I am fine with other solutions, but the one where we
  hard-code ignore patterns in the code is not really flexible: it
  doesn't work then patterns changes, as we can't modify the code, and
  often not upgrade easily.

  A ZCML directive to configure that is fine for me: it is not the
  thing you are going to do everyday, just one time in your project if
  you need it.
