How to override block.tpl.php and node.tpl.php from your module

After much thought, and not being sure if it needs a hook_theme and a template_preprocess or what

Decided that it is not something we should be doing anyway. Overriding block.tpl.php or node.tpl.php from a module just messes up themes! We can have our own templates for the content we print if we want.

Please leave a comment if you think this conclusion is incorrect!
