I would with the addition that I'd also like to allow a function
in there that would determine if the template should be pre-selected.

The trouble with implementing this is that you need to modify the
customize type, in a way that is compatible with older versions.
This has happened before with the org-remember-templates, therefore  
there
is already a :get element that normalizes the value.  Please modify this
in a way so that customize will swallow old settings.

Thanks, great idea.
