Comment:
Such a function doesn't belong to Django. We aren't going to use a bare
`except` and rely on logging instead of raising exceptions.
Referencing a static file that doesn't exist is a bug. The proper behavior
is to raise an exception in that case. Silencing errors isn't "safe" or
"correct".
That said, your last question points out that there's no documented way to
accessing the URL of static files. For the sake of clarity, I've filed
#23563 specifically about that problem.
