simple_tag is not compatible with _() syntax in templates

Description

Creating a simple_tag decorated tag and then passing it a _('text') does not work.

The error produced is:

Failed lookup for key [_('links')]

Code that produces this error:

@register.simple_tag
def title(text):
    return text.title()
{% title _('links') %}

Trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py" in render_node
  813. result = node.render(context)
File "/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py" in render
  930. resolved_vars = [var.resolve(context) for var in self.vars_to_resolve]
File "/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py" in resolve
  707. return self._resolve_lookup(context)
File "/sw/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/template/__init__.py" in _resolve_lookup
  757. raise VariableDoesNotExist("Failed lookup for key [%s] in %r", (bit, current)) # missing attribute

I noticed that the following works:

{{ _('Translate Me')|title }}

However the documentation only mentions that the following syntax is possible:

{% some_special_tag _("Page not found") value|yesno:_("yes,no") %}

In any case, I believe that to make the behaviour of the _() syntax more consistent, it should work even with simple_tag.
I realise that my patch may duplicate some code, but it's the best I could come up with at the moment.

The patch to fix simple_tag and i18n _() syntax. It also includes a workaround for UnicodeDecodeErrors that occur sometimes in VariableNotFound tracebacks (as a bonus)

Previous patch was dirty. This one is a little better. It allows single or double quotes, and throws AttributeError if there are non-matching quotes…
