Template Filter for loop with range

[Emett Speer]

I propose a filter be added to make a template for loop from a range. This could look something like this {% for _ in 5|range %}. It seems to me that something like this should already be in the template language for Django already. This would be added to "django/template/defaultfilters.py"

The code for something like this could be as follows

@register.filter(is_safe=False)
@stringfilter
def range(value):
    """
    Returns a list the length of the value

    Will cast a string to an int
    """
    return list(range(int(value)))
