How do you tell whether 'foo/bar.erb' refers to 'foo' the module or a subdirectory 'foo' in the current module? Which should take precedence? How do we throw a deprecation warning? I don't think we can feasibly forbid references to templates outside the current module. That would have a significant effect upon our ability to share modules. With the benefit of hindsight, we should possibly have made the source parameter, file function and template function consistent...
