> What's actually the good in the `{% site_url %}` tag? It seems like it
should be able to take other sites, too (if you only have one site, why
bother using this over the standard `request.build_absolute_uri()`?)
I often find myself in a situation where I need an absolute URL but cannot
use `request.build_absolute_uri()` because I don't have a request: cron
jobs, celery tasks or api modules that I don't want to couple to the
request. Afaics Django currently doesn't have a place to generate absolute
URLs without a request, so everyone is hacking their own way. `Site` is a
possible place to do it, but it'd have to learn about the scheme and port
to be complete. `RequestSite` could take these from new settings, maybe:
`SITE_SCHEME`, `SITE_PORT`.
