Comment (by cjerdonek):
I can try to find time to come up with a patch. In the meantime, to say a
little more about what I'm getting at, it turns out that the point I was
trying to raise in this issue is discussed in the Django documentation,
though not in the `STATIC_URL` documentation itself (which is supposed to
contain details about the setting). Namely, the point is discussed
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/ here] in
the "The staticfiles app" section. For example, it says, "This helper
function will only work if `DEBUG` is `True` and your `STATIC_URL` setting
is neither empty nor a full URL such as http://static.example.com/.";
In other words, the functionality I'm referencing only becomes enabled
when `STATIC_URL` is a relative URL reference (i.e. does not contain the
host name, etc).
