Comment (by prestontimmons):
A documentation patch seems reasonable to me. Admittedly, though, I never
use this feature or `assertTemplateUsed`, so I don't know how important
having included and extended templates added is.
That gives us these options:
1. Document that it doesn't work
2. Add in support at the backend level for just the top-level template.
3. Add instrumentation support at the backend level for included/extended
templates.
Option 1 and 2 are straightforward. Option 3 is ugly but equivalent to
what `django.test.utils.setup_test_environment` does to Django currently.
It would need to be implemented via a sort of setup and teardown method on
the backend that monkeypatches the internal render method.
I vote for option 1. My reason being that it's not worth partially
implementing the feature nor monkeypatching Jinja2 to make it work fully.
