some changes to allow creation of Javascript files of templates. Is very similiar with grunt-eco, and also with other asset packaging libraries like Jammit and Sprockets (in Ruby).

Backbone.js explained in CoffeeScript use this kind of JST objects to render Backbone Views, based on Eco templates.

One might expect a .js.eco fiile to be a JavaScript file that has some eco formatting. Perhaps something like this:

var user = "<%= name %>";
document.write("I'M SHOUTING AT YOU, <%= @name.toUpperCase() %>!");

It might make sense to provide an additional extension for this. Maybe something like a .jst.eco convention? What are your thoughts?

@RobLoach good point

[RobLoach]

Another solution would be to use https://github.com/docpad/docpad-plugin-multiplelayouts , and have a layout that would output the JSON template data for it.
