Description
Attempting to refer to the same block twice in a template causes a TemplateSyntaxError to be thrown. This seems like a useful and harmless thing to do, unless I'm missing something. (I realize that some thought has probably gone into this, so maybe just an explanation would do. Searching the docs proved fruitless.)
Here's a typical example that comes to mind:
...
<head>
<title>My Application: {% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<h1>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</h1>
...

Finally, note that you can't define multiple {% block %} tags with the same name in the same template. This limitation exists because a block tag works in "both" directions.
