Comment (by aaugustin):
The root cause is that `TemplateView` uses two sets of keyword arguments
to render itself:
- `**kwargs` => they're merged in the context by `get_context_data`, and
they can be passed in the call to `as_view()`
- `**response_kwargs` => they're used in `render_to_response` to
instantiate the response class, but currently they can't be passed without
defining a subclass, hence the problem.
----
`HttpResponseBase` takes two arguments: `content_type` and `status` (plus
`mimetype`, a deprecated alias for `content_type`).
`TemplateView` implies `status = 200`: otherwise one would use a different
class like `RedirectView`.
So, the only remaining argument accepted by all `HttpResponseBase`
subclasses is `content_type`, and it makes ''some'' sense to special-case
it.
