For DRY purposes, it can be useful to capture a known substring in an URL
for access from a view. For example--
{{{
url(r'^(?P<action>create)/confirm/$', ConfirmCreateView.as_view(),
name='confirm_create')
url(r'^(?P<action>change)/confirm/$', ConfirmChangeView.as_view(),
name='confirm_change')
}}}
Calling `reverse()` for examples like the above still requires passing the
keyword argument though (`action='create'` or `action='change'` in these
examples), even though the value of the keyword argument isn't necessary
to construct the corresponding URL. This makes calling `reverse()` less
DRY than it needs to be.
I would like to suggest making `reverse()` not require the keyword
arguments in cases where the corresponding named groups have only one
possible value. If this isn't possible to add, are there any suggestions
for a DRY way to accomplish the same thing?
