Description
Has it been suggested before to simulate an AJAX request by passing a boolean instead of HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH='XMLHttpRequest'? ie self.client.get("/foobar", ajax=True)
I'm sure people would use this as it is easier to remember. I always need to Google how to make AJAX requests in the test client as HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH='XMLHttpRequest' isn't particularly memorable.

I think it would make sense to think about this again.
ajax=True is really convenient and easy to remember.
I think it would be very nice to have the ajax=True shortcut.
It is like the existing "is_ajax()" method which is convenient and easy to remember.

I don't think adding more than one way to do that is a good idea. You can always do this in your own subclass if you want to.
