Comment:
Of the two choices, we should prefer fixing the docs: use the lower-case
version and point out that people must use the lower-case version.
The {{{capitalize()}}} version won't work for a model called !MyModel.
Camel- case class names is pretty common in Python (even PEP-8
compatible).
The ideal solution would be a third option: take the key and lower-case it
before comparing to the module_name. Then people can use the real Python
import path in the settings file and not have to worry about Django's
slightly odd "real men don't use capital letters" approach to lower-casing
every name in sight. Can't immediately see how to do that in just a line
or two in {{{django. db.models.base.get_absolute_url()}}}, though.
