Comment:
Hello Foucauld Degeorges! Thank you for your report and interest in making
Django better.
The new feature that you are proposing seems a very specific need arising
from a niche use case. I don't think this applies to the broader
ecosystem, and Django is a framework designed to offer robust and accurate
solutions for **common** scenarios.
There are posts from, for example, Adam Johnson about being verbose and
selective about missing variables in templates, without resorting to
multiple engines. See for example:
https://adamj.eu/tech/2022/03/30/how-to-make-django-error-for-undefined-
template-variables/
https://adamj.eu/tech/2023/08/09/django-perils-string-if-invalid/
Given the above, I'll close the ticket accordingly, but if you disagree,
you can consider starting a new conversation on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django Forum], where you'll
reach a wider audience and likely get extra feedback. More information in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-
features/#requesting-features the documented guidelines for requesting
features].
