Comment (by collinanderson):
Isn't there already a `{% load mylibrary from myapp %}` syntax?
I do feel like there's a ton of boilerplate for creating template tags. It
would be nice to cut down on this:
{{{
mkdir templatetags
touch templatetags/__init__.py
vi templatetags/thing_to_name.py
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.simple_tag
}}}
Could we allow any python module to register template tags, and then it's
up to you to be sure that gets imported before you use your template? So,
any python module could do something like this?
register = template.Library('name_of_library')
Though, it still doesn't solve name collisions.
