I'm in a situation where I want to prepend the current site's domain to a
static file's URL. In olden times, I would've done something like:
{{{
{% if STATIC_URL|slice:":4" != "http" %}http://{{ site.domain }}{% endif
%}{{ STATIC_URL }}path/to/file.txt
}}}
But now the standard way to do things is to use the {{{ {% static %} }}}
template tag from staticfiles, which currently has no way of assigning to
the context - which means that to accomplish the above, you would need to
write a custom template tag. Granted, that would be pretty trivial, but it
shouldn't be necessary. Having the option of {{{ {% static <path> as
<varname> %} }}} would parallel nicely with the {{{ {% url %} }}} tag and
similar.
