Should the url template tag accepts a variable?

[Guillermo Gutiérrez]

This way, you could use a model to describe the elements of a generated menu, i. ex., and lets stuff people to set it from django admin; or whatever:

<li>
{% for entry in menu_entries %}
<a href="{% url entry.view_name %}">{{ entry.description }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</li>

If MenuEntry.view_name is an CharField containing the urlname or path to view like the first argument to django.core.urlresolvers.resolve().

I'll attach my changes to django.template.defaulttags to support it.

I'd meant staff users not stuff people.

Closing wontfix, or rather "Can't fix". This would be a backwards incompatible change - or at the very least, an amiguous change (since we're moving towards using quotes to describe constants.
