When migrating an existing project to Django 1.5 (one that has dashes in
the URL names), I get a very confusing error in the template traceback.
Namely:
{{{
TemplateSyntaxError at /
Could not parse the remainder: '-login' from 'account-login'
}}}
{{{
<li><a href='{% url account-login %}'>Create Account</a></li>
}}}
The culprit is in the `filter_raw_string` regex in
django/template/base.py. When I change 'var_chars' to `"-\w\."`(instead of
`"\w\."`, I get a more sensible error message:
{{{
NoReverseMatch at /
'url' requires a non-empty first argument. The syntax changed in Django
1.5, see the docs.
}}}
I think the messaging here could be improved.
