Comment:

 Thanks for the suggestion, but I fear this would cause more confusion than
 shed light during debugging -- I don't think it would be at all clear to
 many why some patterns get links associated with them and others do not.
 Also, the key question for the programmer when faced with an unexpected
 404 page is "Why didn't any of the listed patterns match?", and having
 some of the patterns show as links does not help answer that question, so
 they would strike me as more of a distraction than anything else. (Also,
 for future reference, Django supports Pythons as far back as 2.4.
 [http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#format format] is new in
 Python 2.6 so the proposed patch could not be used as-is if this were to
 be done; it would need to be reworked so the code ran on Pythons as old as
 2.4.)
