Prefixing a template filename with an underscore prevents it from being served directly by Craft if a url matching its name happens to be requested. But this entire feature of "directly serve templates" is just nutty and I want to completely disable it for my site's templates directory (instead of having to prefix everything).

I tried setting the 'privateTemplateTrigger' config to an empty string, which worked for my site templates (that is, it prevented them from being served directly), but then it broke many of the CP pages (such as Globals and Plugins).

It would be great if we could just disable this feature altogether (but only on the site-level templates directory I guess, so as not to break the CP?).

See http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/10852/3931 for more details.
