Context:
We have two template engines in our app - one that is permissive with
invalid variables (e.g. accessing a property on None), the other one
raises on invalid variables.
Django Admin requires the permissive one as it makes use of the fallback
mechanic on invalid variables.
But we prefer for all our other renders (views, emails, PDFs) to be strict
on invalid variables. So we want our strict template engine to be the
default one, and specify a custom one for the admin.
The idea would be an optional property on {{{AdminSite}}} named
{{{template_engine}}}, that sets the {{{using}}} argument of all
{{{TemplateResponses}}} returned by admin views.
