This is a usability suggestion.

Views has nice feature that lists out all the available *.tpl.php files you can create to theme a view. It also marks the one that currently exists and is being used for a given view.

It would be nice if there were a UI screen in drupal that lists all the valid *.tpl.php overrides that are possible so that the user has a comprehensive list to pick from when they are trying to customize their themes.

This list should be dynamic if possible so as new template overrides become available, the user can see what they are.

It would also be helpful if, next to each *.tpl.php suggestion, that you could click on it, and get a quick template of the content that should go into the file. You would just paste this content into a file you create with the same name, and start making adjustments as you see fit.

Sorry, this is a development tool option. Lets keep it in those modules to enhance the experience of doing such things.
