It seems like there is a qualitative difference in the behavior of
`STATIC_URL` that is worth adding to
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#static-url its
documentation] -- depending on whether the URL is absolute vs relative.
Specifically, the documentation currently only mentions how to //refer//
to static assets (i.e. by prepending `STATIC_URL`). But it doesn't
mention that when `STATIC_URL` is relative, Django will use this setting
to find and serve the file (using also the settings `STATICFILES_DIRS` and
`STATIC_ROOT`, for example).
