url template tag uses low level parser

[jrocha]

The URL template tag does not allow more than one space separating each of its components (template name and arguments). Also, one must use a comma to separate the arguments and argument separation by spaces is also not allowed. This makes the use a little annoying and restrictive.

I am including a patch that will allow separation of url from its arguments by use of spaces (using split_contents). I also did it in a way so it is compatible with the usual way of arguments separation by a comma - retrocompatible.

#7806 would address the whitespace issues. Allowing space separated arguments would be consistent with {% cycle %}, but you'd loose the visual separation of viewname and args.

I'd like a more consistent syntax for templatetags -- x=foo vs foo as x or a,b vs a b vs a and b -- ideally there should be only one way to do this. But as it looks now, this won't be fixed before 2.0 -- if at all.
