18265	Use load_template in template-loader.php	elyobo		"There may be a good reason for this I'm unaware of, but the template loader (wp-includes/template-loader.php) does not use the appropriate sounding load_template() function.

The only differences are

 * A potentially smaller number of globals included, as load_templates() globalises a smaller list.
 * Query vars are extracted automatically.

In my plugin, I'm trying to make things easier for our theme folks by populating the appropriate data automatically.  This is possible through the load_template() function because I can push data into $wp_query->query_vars and it will be extract()ed into local variables that are available in the template.

This is *not* possible in things like single-page.php, because template-loader.php just includes the template file it finds instead of load_template()ing it.

I have attached the one line patch to change this.  If the reduced number of globals would be a problem, it is also easy to include an ""extract($GLOBALS);"" in load_template() as well.
