Going off topic a little bit but.. have we considered deprecating string 
based includes in favour of actually importing the urls module?

from . import myapp
urlpatterns = (
 url(r'^myapp/', include(myapp.urls.urlpatterns)),
)


Then users can relatively import their nested app patterns as they will.

Even if we didn't deprecate string based imports I'm wary of increasing 
their utility.
