Holy crap, so you'd propose we wrap every thumbnail/bordered image with a template. Shoot me now.
Bang.
Thats a very very bad idea.
Why? From a programming perspective, I very much like the idea of wrapping everything about the underlying language in some higher level language. But I understand that templates have performance issues.
If we can get around that though, I don't see why this:
{{image|Foo.jpg|This is a foo.|author=Mr Foo}}
is worse than
{{image:Foo.jpg|This is a foo.{{author|Mr Foo}}}}
Well, any change is okay with me. No. I shouldn't say that. Proposing
we start wraping all captioned images with a template is not okay with me.
Yup, we got that. Why?
