Comment (by Simon Charette):
Tim, I think the confusion here is that `{{ perms.foo }}` should be
checked against with a conditional statement (e.g. `{% if perms.foo %}`)
to work.
The behavior reported here is expected, trying to use `{{ boolean_var }}`
won't perform any check by itself and result in `bool.__repr__` just like
`{{ perms.foo }}` results in `PermLookupDict.__repr__`.
I think the documentation is just a bit misleading and should be using `{%
if perms.foo %}` to exemplify its usage.
