I've submitted a patch[1] which makes the "random" template filter
accept QuerySet and adds a "shuffle" filter which also works on both
lists and QuerySet.

I think it would make sense that the random filter accept QuerySet
instances since most of the time when working in templates we are
dealing with QuerySets rather than simple lists. This makes the
current random implementation not quite useful..

The shuffle filter is also pretty useful and doesn't add much code to
the code base.

Both proposal persever backward compatibility, I would like some
feedback on this idea.

Thanks
