The idea behind the default value for sections was really more intended for inline short hand, such as:

<title><?=$this->section('title', 'The default title')?></title>

For more complex defaults, I sort of feel like a simple if statement is a better approach, similar to what we have in the Plates documentation:

<html>
<head>
    <title><?=$this->e($title)?></title>
</head>
<body>

<img src="logo.png">

<div id="page">
    <?=$this->section('page')?>
</div>

<div id="sidebar">
    <?php if ($this->section('sidebar')): ?>
        <?=$this->section('sidebar')?>
    <?php else: ?>
        <?=$this->fetch('default-sidebar')?>
    <?php endif ?>
</div>

</body>
</html>

That avoids rendering the default-sidebar unless no sidebar section has been set.

That being said, it would be interesting to make the section default also accept a template name, in addition to only a string. That default template would only be rendered in the event that no section was found.

But how do we identify that a default template was provided and not just some string to output? We could:

Check to see if the string provided resolves to a template, and if it does render it.
```
$this->section('sidebar', 'default-sidebar', ['some' => 'data']);
```

Append a value to indicate that this is a template, not a string.

$this->section('sidebar', 'template:default-sidebar', ['some' => 'data']);

Assume this is a template if data is provided (meaning you need the 3rd param even if you don't have any data)

// with data:
$this->section('sidebar', 'default-sidebar', ['some' => 'data']);
// without data:
$this->section('sidebar', 'default-sidebar', []);

@reinink in my experience i rarely had to specify just default string, maybe solution 3 is most useful with some fallback extension:

// default template
$this->section('sidebar', 'default-sidebar', ['some' => 'data']);
// default string
$this->section('sidebar')->or('No sidebar :(');

I think that is intuitive enough and makes unnecessary to specify empty data array.
Also or() can have alternative signature to pass also template name and params, so we can even leave strictly one param to section() call — ultimately transparent and intuitive.

// by prefix
$this->section('sidebar')->or('::template/name' /*, ['optional'=>'data']*/);
// separate method
$this->section('sidebar')->orTemplate('template/name' /*, ['optional'=>'data']*/);

Closing in favor of #169. Will spend some time working on the syntax for this. It also relates to #48.
