13154	Make reverse() match the behavior of resolve()	Patryk Zawadzki	nobody	"Consider the following `urls.py`:

{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^faq/$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template': 'faq.html'}, 'faq'),
    (r'^tos/$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template': 'tos.html'}, 'tos'),
)
}}}

When passed to `resolve()`, `/faq/` will yield:

{{{
>>> resolve('/faq/')
(<function direct_to_template at 0x8b2679c>, (), {'template': 'faq.html'})
}}}

However this will raise an exception:

{{{
>>> reverse('django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', kwargs={'template': 'faq.html'})
NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'template': 'faq.html'}' not found.
}}}

The attached patch makes `reverse()` behave more intuitively and return a match when both the key and value match the default kwargs.

{{{
>>> reverse('django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', kwargs={'template': 'faq.html'})
'/faq/'
