Hi, I've patched django to allow indefinite args for simple tags and inclusion tags. My impetus for doing so was as follows:
I have a project that registers inclusion template tags for methods on objects in a registry. (http://github.com/melinath/pipettes/blob/ master/templatetags/pipettes.py) In order to correctly set the tag's name (and provide other basic functionality in the future) I have to wrap the method. However, I have no way of knowing how many arguments the method will have, and I don't want to restrict people who might register objects to a certain number of arguments. So the wrapper should accept *args. Unfortunately, django seems to purposely ignore the possibility of *args in creating simple tags and inclusion tags, instead checking only how many args and default args have been specified for the node's function. Before posting the patch to django's ticketing system, I wanted to check whether this would be a non-trivial patch and whether there might be any good alternatives.
