Comment (by blighj):
This is less simple than it appears at first.
The timesince and timeuntil filters can already take an optional argument,
a variable containing the date to use as the comparison point. Since
filters can only take one optional argument there is no room for depth.
I've thought about overloading it, but I've concluded it's a bad thing to
do.
If people need this functionality in their projects, I think it is okay
that they can create their own simple_tag for the job.
The naturaltime filter does not have any arguments, you could add it
there, but the justification Sarah used about timesince and timeuntil
functions being updated is a little more of a stretch if it is only this
filter from humanize that is being updated.
I'd suggest this should be changed to wontfix.
