Hi,

A question came up on StackOverflow asking about how to use the default capture template (`Task`) in combination with user-defined templates: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/46794/where-is-default-org-mode-capture-template-for-tasks-located

The default Task template is actually stored in the function `org-capture-select-template`. This is a bit surprising, and requires the user to manually transfer it to the the variable `org-capture-templates` if they want to keep it as one of their options. 

Is there a reason not to set this built-in `Task` template as the default value of `org-capture-templates`? That would provide the user with a transparent way of keeping it as an option, modifying it, or removing it, as they prefer, through the usual customize interface.

I can put together a patch to do this if I haven't overlooked a problem this would create.

Best,

Tyler
