See http://stackoverflow.com/q/17073431/220060 for a use case.

We had a similar use case. We need to stream a file with seek to implement pseudostreaming.

I also updated the documentation. Our team got very confused when they discovered that they could return a text instead of a template name. I read the source code and documented what's possible. Of course I added the new possibility to return undefined.

This seems like a reasonable approach.

Can you add some tests that make sure it works? We'll need to port this functionality over to the new router that's currently being worked on, and without tests, intricacies like this may get missed.
