This isn't forms specific, but I have various classes that output HTML
into templates and one pattern I've used is to take the context in
their render() method, then display the variable with a tag that calls
render(), like:
{% render my_variable %}
I think it'd be interesting to apply this pattern to general variable
lookups, as it would solve this issue, plus be applicable to many more
problems. Variable lookups could check for render() and call it if
it's there, passing the context. Then you just call {{ my_variable }},
or {{ field }}.
Too big of a change?
