Yup.

Thanks.  Its a surprisingly non-useful file for TAl errors which occur
in macros which are defined in files way way way under main_template.

  It turned out that a bunch of TAL variables had been added to
  main_template (like tabindex) which I hadn't migrated to my customised
  main_template.

FeatureWish:

  It would be very useful if an object clones to portal_skins/custom
  "remembered" where it came from, and thus allowed easy diffing of
  itself against its original (or the original as it is now under the
  FSDV).
