31184	URL dispatcher docs should mention path_info	Roy Smith	Roy Smith	"At https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/urls/#how-django-processes-a-request, it says:

{{{
Django runs through each URL pattern, in order, and stops at the first one that matches the requested URL.
}}}

it should mention here that it's matching against request.path_info, and provide a link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/request-response/ which explains how request.path differs from request.path_info.

In addition, the debug 404 page, where it says:

{{{
The current path ... didn't match any of these.
}}}

instead of ""current path"", it should say something like, ""current path (request.path_info)"", which would give a hint about what to read to understand why the current path isn't what's shown above, as the ""Request URL"".
