Description
During development, static files can be served using:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
My proposal is to add these lines, commented, to urls.py so people can enable them quickly.

To the best of my knowledge, it isn't necessary to add anything to the URLconf to serve static files during development. The doc says:
This view is automatically enabled by runserver (with a DEBUG setting set to True).
What's the use case for adding these lines to the default urls.py?

No no, adding staticfiles_urlpatterns is not necessary when using the development server (via runserver), but only if you use an alternative server, like the 3rd party app gunicorn. I'm not convinced that use case is justifies the addition to the default URL.

Totally agree!
I'm sorry, I misread the docs.
Great default by the way, thanks Jannis.
