14908	Add takes_context parameter to simple_tag decorator	Julien Phalip	Julien Phalip	"There is no ""simple"" way for accessing the context in a template tag. The only options are to use an inclusion_tag (which also requires the use of a template) or to create a Node/parser (which is tedious).

To address this, the consensus in (1) is to make `simple_tag` consistent with `inclusion_tag` by introducing a `takes_context` decorator parameter.
