Looking at the code, --dbname can actually accept a list of databases. Perhaps we could just have the equivalent for templates? I think that we just need to be sure that the template list matches the length of the database list if the template list is longer than one.
What is sense for list of databases?
Some option --template can be great - with backpatch if it is possible.
