Description
I just noticed that it is not easily possible to get the class of an iterable object in the template, since class is rejected there as for having underscores in front of it. I ended up adding a method to the model class, but I think it would be very useful to be able to ask for the class in the template, when you iterate over a list of objects with different classes.

You should avoid complex business logic in templates. If you really to access
obj.__class__, a template tag or a model method as you've done is the way to go.
