 Marking DDN as per Malcolm's email on the dev-list:

 Specifically responding to Malcolm's comment:

 > [...] we need to consider whether adding something like "takes_nodelist"
 is really a good idea for something called *simple* tag decorator.


 I think that it is worth having `takes_nodelist`, as it does not
 necessarily "complexify" `simple_tag`. My interpretation of "simple tag",
 in this context, is two-fold: "simple to create a template tag" and "tag
 with simple syntax". The proposed patch preserves both of those.

 Conversely, a complex tag would be something with a complex syntax (e.g.
 `{% if ... and not ... %}`, or `{% get_comment_count for entry as
 comment_count %}`), and therefore would justify getting your hands dirty
 with variable resolving and tokens.

 At this stage, there is no way to "simply" create a "simple" block tag.
