Being OCD I couldn't wait until Monday ;-) The issue was that when I
was using direct_to_template I was passing in extra_context. You can't
do that with TemplateView. I had to subclass TemplateView and provide
my own get_context_data method. Now all I have to do is change the 52
usages of {% url ... %} to quote the first argument.
