Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 > Instead, I think the change we should make here is to enable setting a
 post to the same `template` value that it currently has - this should be a
 no-op even if the current theme doesn't support that value.

 This seems like a reasonable decision to me.

 @dd32 I don't have a specific use case, other than the original presented:
 a client POSTing back the same data it received.
