Templates already in the dom

If I have a template with #names that I load statically into the dom and then want to memoize the paths to with stage0 can I just modify core stage0 to have a little function that takes the content from the template or should I do something else? Also are there any performance pitfalls to be aware of in this scenario?

  function t(content) {
    content._refPaths = genPath(content);
    content.collect = walker;
    return content;
  }

And yes, you need to do the same for Template nodes.
