4756	Mention direct_to_template as an alternate shortcut when wanting RequestContext	Chris Beaven	nobody	"Currently the docs suggest passing a !RequestContext instance to the `render_to_response()` shortcut. But that means also importing !RequestContext which makes it a bit less ""short"" and the actual ""cut"" less concise.

Perhaps we could mention using the simple generic view `direct_to_template()` as an alternate shortcut?"		closed	Documentation	dev		wontfix			Design decision needed	1	0	0	0	0	0
