[EDIT]: Forgot about the warning in the console re: menus and BaseURL…hmmm…disregard.
I think that’s all I needed…this should be clarified for users, so I’m thinking that really the only purpose, at least moving forward, for the baseurl field in the config is to define the full base URL of your website for deployment purposes…and that referring to it specifically in templates (or doing something similar to {{$base := .Site.BaseURL}} is more or less a bad idea…?
