Comment (by tBaxter):
Respectfully, I think at the very least there's a documentation
improvement to be made here. The single sentence "Template tag modules are
imported when templates are configured" falls well short of describing the
current behavior, which was was surprising to many experienced Django devs
on #django IRC.
I understand that it is intentional, and whether or not I agree it's the
correct behavior isn't particularly relevant, but I'm trying to at least
minimize surprises and unwanted side-effects.
I would also like to propose a TEMPLATE['exclude_tags'] = () type setting
in which one could add filenames that should explicitly be blocked and
never loaded, if they are unwanted. I understand that could get a bit
messy and convoluted, but I wanted to float the idea.
