Well, but from somewhere systemctl preset-all needs to be able to
discover the "bar" string... How is that supposed to work?

preset-all just enumerates all unit files that are installed and
enables/disables them according to the preset file. But this means it
would only find the template, and the instance would have to come from
somewhere else, but where?
