21580	"Unclear why shortcut function ""render"" can not return TemplateResponse object"	jgehrs@…	nobody	"The reason is - apparently - that this is pointless as TemplateResponse has a constructor with a syntax equivalently convenient as render().

See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/django-developers/templateresponse/django-developers/mOx9ddVTrPA/-WbaVc0pqeYJ.

I have created a pull request and I suggest to update the documentation accordingly. I was confused by the fact that TemplateResponse is not even mentioned in the shortcut section, although using it should be a rather common thing. It gives the impression that TemplateResponse is a ""2nd class citizen"".
