I don't see the benefit in doing so.
You produce loads of overhead because you need to check template caching 
any time the page is viewed.

TS is a very clever way of defining values.
Certain features do not work for a reason...because they simply don't 
make sense.

I have to look in my archives, because there has been a very similar 
discussion not too long ago.
