Not something for the average TWiki maybe, but it would be nice at times to see the raw form of a TWiki .txt, .tpl or .skin file.
Might be a nice feature for an in-house technically oriented web too for publishing source code in a TWiki.
This would require that the viewraw script escape html sensitive characters for presentation.
Hmmm... if a .tpl can call a rendering plugin...
HMMM! if .tpls can decide what rendering or processing in general is done, then one might potentially reduce the "outfront" script to just view.pl and all the rest are done via the template - data driven! Everything becomes a plugin!

I just noticed
ViewRawTopic which is related to this but not quite the same.
In thinking further about this, it's really just a matter of throwing a cdata section tag wrapper around the file content whether it's a twiki topic or a source code file (or whatever) and no need to parse the file content for
HTML sensitive characters - except the cdata section terminator character sequence!
