17697	Implement a new property as list type (like extra_argument) into the ListView class	sylock	Adrien Lemaire	"Hello,

In the deprecated implementation of generic views (as functions) there was the extra_context list to pass extra arguments to the template.
Since 1.3 and the new implementation of generic views as classes doing the same need the creation of a new customized class which inherits from the ListView class as documented here (in the extra_context chapter): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/generic-views-migration/#the-context-data-for-object-list-views

It's not pythonic since the new implementation recquire more knowledge of the underlying code, and basicaly, more code to do the same! So it's a regression from my point of view.

It would be really simple to solve it keeping classes implementation by creating a new property as list type. So when instanciate the ListView class we would be able to give the extra variables as arguments.

Really need little modification to the existing code!"	New feature	closed	Generic views	1.3	Normal	needsinfo	extra_context generic views listview	sylock lemaire.adrien@…	Design decision needed	0	1	1	0	1	0
