21964	ProcessFormView should pass **kwargs to get_context_data()	Chris Jerdonek	nobody	"In the `ProcessFormView` class, keyword arguments to the view aren't available in the template context by default.

From what I can tell, changing this behavior (so that one can customize other aspects of the template) requires relying on undocumented implementation details of Django views (namely that `View.as_view()` sets `self.kwargs`).  For example:

{{{
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
    # ProcessFormView doesn't pass the view's keyword arguments in its
    # calls to get_context_data(), so we need to add them back manually.
    context = self.kwargs.copy()
    context.update(kwargs)
    return context
}}}

I think things would be simpler and more consistent if `ProcessFormView` passed the view's `**kwargs` to `get_context_data()` in the first place, in which case `ProcessFormView` could implement its own version of `get_context_data()` that would restrict the context.  This would be more DRY by eliminating the need to read `self.kwargs` when overriding `get_context_data()`.  This will also reduce potential confusion between the `**kwargs` argument and the undocumented `self.kwargs` attribute.
