Description

The following patch makes the escape filter (or technically, the escape function in django.utils.html) smarter so it can escape the items of lists, too.

Useful for this sort of thing: 

{{ names_list|escape|join:'<br />' }}

This has been nixed in the past in favour of the auto-escaping proposal. See ​this thread on django-developers. I agree with Simon's logic in that thread.

If somebody really needs a slightly more powerful escape filter without the full auto-escape functionality, it can live outside of Django. We don't need multiple ways to achieve the same thing.
