#13753: Generic views don't redirect to an URL name, like
django.shortcuts.redirect
does

I just noticed that the `post_save_redirect` parameter of generic views
(`update_object`, and friend) doesn't have the same abilities as
`django.shortcuts.redirect` (in fact, it reinvents the wheel).
When an URL name is passed, it will not do a lookup, but redirect to that
given name.
----
The following does not work as expected:
{{{
def edit(request, item_id):
return update_object(request, object_id=item_id, model=Context
post_save_redirect='myapp-context-
index')
}}}
It needs a manual resolve call:
{{{
from django.core import urlresolvers
def edit(request, item_id):
return update_object(request, object_id=item_id, model=Context
post_save_redirect=urlresolves.reverse
('myapp-context-index')) # manual resolving
}}}
Unlike the `django.shortcuts.redirect` function, which does allow the URL
name to be used:
{{{
return redirect("myapp-context-index")
}}}
----
In other words, could the generic view use `django.shortcuts.redirect`
internally too?
