21522	Add rendering decorators	anonymous	nobody	"A lot of frameworks now allow you to do :
{{{
@something
def hello(request):
    return {}
}}}
We could apply that to django :
{{{
@render()
def hello(request):
    return 'Hello'
}}}
Returns a HttpRequest('Hello')
{{{
@render('template.html')
def hello(request):
    return {}
}}}
Is an alternative syntax for return render('template.html', {}). It's more declarative, and removes the boiler plate code from the function body where only the view logic now appears.

Possiblities :

{{{
@render('template.xml', mimetype='application/xml')
def hello(request):
    return {}

@render('template.html', code=404)
def hello(request):
    return {}

# this will return HttpRequest(json.loads({}), mimetype='application/json'))
@render(json=True)
def hello(request):
    return {}
}}}
