            Bug ID: 4842
           Summary: allow template aliases to be defined in config
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: earlier
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: templater

We have command aliases and revset aliases. We should have template aliases as
well.

Proposal:

  [templates]
  mydata = '{branches} {bookmarks}'
  mylog = '{desc|firstline} {mydata}'

  [ui]
  logtemplate='{mylog}\n'

This would make composing log templates much better.
