Comment (by lukeplant):
This will, of course, break anyone who had a class like:
{{{
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self):
self.bar = 123
}}}
and then did 'Foo.bar' in a template with `{'Foo':Foo}` passed in as the
context.
Is that a silly thing to do? Well, that's debatable, but it has one
massive thing in its favour: it is the status quo, and every change we've
ever made in this section of code has generated 'regression' bug reports.
The docs clearly state: "If any part of the variable is callable, the
template system will try calling it", which is exactly what happens.
Personally I'm finding it hard to see the bug here.
