#16629: STATIC_ROOT should not be required by {% static %} when using
development
server

------------------------+-------------------------------------
The development server uses its own views for serving static files
directly, instead of from STATIC_ROOT, so the STATIC_ROOT setting should
not be required under a development environment. One can normally get by
without STATIC_ROOT as long as STATIC_URL is used. However, when using the
{% static %} template tag, the following exception is raised:
{{{
Caught ImproperlyConfigured while rendering: You're using the staticfiles
app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting
}}}
