Official jQuery templates plugin - how to check if template is already compiled

Is it possible to check if template is already compiled and in the stack?

For example i need a boolean check, to decide to make ajax call for template or pick it from compiled stack.

var callback = fucntion(template){do stuff...}

var template = $.tmpl('thumbnail',data);

if(!template) {do ajax and get template, then use callback}
else{
     callback(template);
}

This would be great, but it doesn't work. $.tmpl doesn't return false if template isn't compiled and in stack.

Thanks ;)
