That would work for me, too. The ability to find_first results from
different kinds of content sources would be nice.
For my suggestion I was assuming that template() and file() don't have
a good way to signal errors. In particular, an empty result cannot be
used for the purpose because it might be the valid and desired
content. If there is a way to make that work then I'd like that
alternative. If not, then I don't see why find_first() would not be
able to find or open files when file() can do.
