render_to_response() is an aid, not a crutch. If it doesn't work as you would like it to, write a similar shortcut that does. The render_to_response() code is only two lines long, after all. We have intentionally avoided making it more complex than it is, as it is such a simple function. So don't tie yourself to thinking that "render_to_response() should change so that I can continue using it". Instead, think along the lines of "I need something beyond render_to_response(), so I'll write my own little helper method." It's not worth Django handling infinite configurability here, since that complicates the API for eveyrbody and writing your own method takes so little time.
