Description
Is your proposal related to a problem?
Currently, if you have templates like this with an overridden template tag foo...
base.html:
<p>{% foo %}</p>
extended.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
included.html:
{% include "base.html" %}
... it's not possible to control the output of foo from extended.yaml or included.yaml, only the values set in base.yaml will have any effect.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if the ability to override tags cascaded/inherited the same way as template context.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It's not possible to work around this without duplicating the tag invocation in the inherited template, as far as I know.
