On this section
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/templates/#variables
In the "Behind the Scenes" section, it gives the order that Django tries
to resolve a variable like "X.Y".
The 4 things that it tries are accurate, but the way/order they're done
doesn't appear to be correct.
Ref the code that does this:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/template/base.py#L756
What actually (seems to) happen is:
* Try dictionary lookup to get "thing"
* If not found "thing", try attribute lookup to get "thing"
* If not found "thing", try list-index lookup to get "thing"
* If not found "thing", then fail
* If "thing" is callable, then "thing" = "thing()"
* Return "thing"
Applies in version 1.6 and onwards, probably applicable to older doc
versions too.
