Comment (by jezdez):
Oh, I forgot to mention, each have different use cases:
- `{{ STATIC_URL }}` only works if you have the request in the context
- `get_static_prefix` does everywhere (both of them were in 1.3)
- `{% static %}` from staticfiles uses the storage and was added later
along the core `{% static %}` tag that just joins the given path with the
`STATIC_URL` (in case anyone **doesn't** want to use the contrib app
staticfiles)
IMO we should only recommend the core `{% static %}` tag or the
staticfiles equivalent instead of `{{ STATIC_URL }}` as it always works.
`get_static_prefix` should be deprecated in favor of that. The context
processors should use `iri_to_uri`.
