22109	clarify difference between relative and absolute STATIC_URL	Chris Jerdonek	nobody	"It seems like there is a qualitative difference in the behavior of `STATIC_URL` that is worth adding to [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#static-url its documentation] -- depending on whether the URL is absolute vs relative.  Specifically, the documentation currently only mentions how to //refer// to static assets (i.e. by prepending `STATIC_URL`).  But it doesn't mention that when `STATIC_URL` is relative, Django will use this setting to find and serve the file (using also the settings `STATICFILES_DIRS` and `STATIC_ROOT`, for example).
