Description
The {% url %} tag only accepts "template strings" as view name/named url. I propose that the view name be a django.template.Variable and resolve() on render.
There are two reasons for this; Firstly, if you accidentally put quotes around the view name a very cryptic template syntax error is raised. Secondly, I've encountered several occasions where it would be useful to be able to pass a view name, or named url, to the url tag as a variable, but found it wouldn't evaluate.

This has already been rejected, see #7917 (option number 2 there would be a backwards compatible fix for your quote issue).
You could raise this on django-dev (once again) when 1.1 is out the door.
Good luck.
