Description
The django.template module includes two convenient decorators for making certain common template tags, simple_tag for inserting strings and inclusion_tag for including other templates. Another common idiom is loading an object into the template. For example:
{% get_recent_articles 4 as recent_articles %}
This patch includes an object_tag decorator that makes this kind of tag easy.
I'm new to Django and don't know how this fits in with the refactoring going on now, but I found it quite useful.

Let's be bold and close this ticket. @simple_tag has a takes_context parameter now making this ticket obsolete.

Just for posterity, the resolution would actually be duplicate of #14262. Although it is more recent, it also has a more up-to-date discussion about the preferred API.
Did Adrian's "assigned" means that this was approved?
