There's an inherent collision if we use {=$Title} to mean
"name of the included page", because the way that pagelist
templates are obtained is by using the same code that handles
the (:include:) markup.  So, there'd be a conflict in wondering
if {=$Title} is being used to refer to the current page in the
pagelist, or the name of the (included) page containing the pagelist
template.

It could be worked around, yes, but I think I'd prefer to keep
the two uses entirely separate and have separate markups for them.
