Comment:
This is really fiddly to handle all the cases, since it requires stepping
through one dotted piece at a time checking if it's something to import or
a class or whatever. Since reverse-resolving is already slow to start up
as it is, it's not really worth it.
The correct thing to do here is to use the named URL-pattern form:
{{{
#!python
url(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.sites.root, name='my-admin-root'),
}}}
and then `{% url my-admin-root "" %}` will do work as you expect.
It's arguably a bug that the empty string is needed if you only want the
root, but that's an issue with `reverse()` and I've opened #9239 for that.
