Comment (by ubernostrum):
Even if Django shipped a built-in context processor for retrieving some
settings, you'd still need to use `RequestContext` to get them to show up
in your template contexts; there's no way around that. I do think there's
utility in deciding on a set of default settings like `MEDIA_URL`, etc.
which are safe and which could have a built-in context processor.
Adding things to template contexts which are specific to the needs of your
application is the job of custom context processors in your application;
that's explicitly what context processors and `RequestContext` are
designed for.
