Is it considered gauche to revive old topics such as this? After having
some difficulty debugging why an if statement was throwing a strange error,
I realized it was because they didn't support multi-line statements.
Here's what I was trying:
{% if request.xxx.family.get_selected.get_age < program
or request.xxx.family.get_selected.get_age > program.max_age %}
Fairly simple stuff. Keeping this on a single line gets unwieldy, yet the
logic isn't nearly convoluted enough that it should be de-facto moved
elsewhere. It seems a bit more pythonic to split to multiple lines.
