What is the point of path based name?

What is this useful for?

#[allow(dead_code, non_camel_case_types)]
type TemplateFromhello2ehtml<'a> = HelloTemplate<'a>;

It was used for inheritance; because the inheriting template includes the path name. I guess now that the inheriting template has a mandatory _parent field, I guess this is no longer strictly necessary.

Yeah I understood the TraitFromhello2ehtml types in the context of inheritance but TemplateFrom never seemed to be used.

Ah, is that what you meant! I iterated a bit on getting the inheritance right, this was necessary at some point, but no longer. Thanks.
