I use:

    Handlebars.registerPartial("Foo", Handlebars.templates.Foo);

Your approach is kinda amazing. Makes me wonder why not all templates are automatically available as partial by default. Are there cases where you wouldn't want that?

I think the reason is Handlebars is supposed to look and act like Mustache and templates aren't named in Mustache, so they don't get named in "regular" Handlebars:

    var getHtml = Handlebars.compile("<div>yad yada...</div>");

And then following the rule of least surprise, if templates aren't partials during normal usage, then they shouldn't be with precompilation.

At least that's my guess. I didn't figure out my trick until digging through the source to figure out what was different. (Not much - just how/where they're stored & referenced.)

Ahm... yea, I forgot that I put them into `Handlebars.templates` myself if they aren't there yet (i.e. during development).
