Thanks for the reply.
So I guess there are actually now two types of templates, and they have
incompatible API. Neither is deprecated.
Has this confused anyone else? Is this a desirable/necessary situation?
I think in order to have consistent template usage in our project we really
need to just use the new-style templates, which means we have to avoid
using `django.template.Template` at all. Perhaps it could be deprecated and
removed?
