I hit this issue when trying to use the value of the current year inside a
translated string.
Normally, you'd do something like this:
{{{
{% blocktrans %}Current year: {% now 'Y' %}{% endblocktrans %}
}}}
But this doesn't work because `blocktrans` doesn't allow other tags
inside.
So I propose adding the `as varname` syntax to `{% now %}` so you can do
something like this:
{{{
{% now 'Y' as current_year %}
{% blocktrans %}Current year: {{ current_year }}{% endblocktrans %}
}}}
