It would be nice to have a version/extension of `assertRedirects` which
does not require loading the target page with the client. My test suites
already have tests for the target pages in most cases, and the extra
overhead of calling and rendering the second page each time seems like
overkill. The general thing I want to test is "this response redirects to
the url with name 'foo'" rather than "this response redirects to url /foo
and it works".
This would also handle the issue of checking redirects to external sites
without having to go hunting for `headers['Location']`.
