Comment (by scribu):

 The problem with custom page templates is that they're supposed to be
 completely non-editable. Users should still be able to edit the slug at
 least, as well as the title. Also, some templates actually use the page
 content as well.

 So, we'd need some sort of API for specifying this.

 It could be another field in template's header:

 {{{
 <?php
 /**
  * Template Name: Showcase Template
  * Description: A Page Template that showcases Sticky Posts, Asides, and
 Blog Posts
  * Supports: title, editor
 ...
 }}}

 Or a PHP function:

 <?php
 {{{
 register_page_template( 'showcase.php', array( 'title', 'editor' ) );
 }}}

 The array would accept the same values as the 'supports' parameter from
 `register_post_type()`.
