Description

Checking the docs, I see you can add a default model to a template, but I don't think you can set a default template for all prompts.

If support for this is added, there should also be a way to specify that the default template shouldn't be used. Something like llm -t _ "prompt", for example.

Research direction

Start by reading the template-related documentation and tracing the CLI entry point that handles the -t option. Define how a default template applies to prompts and how llm -t _ "prompt" bypasses it; the work is done when both behaviors are documented and covered by the relevant CLI tests.
