Comment (by Mark Tranchant):

 Pull request now includes refactoring with Carlton's simplification
 (thanks!), a simple test, and some documentation.

 Whilst I understand the "use a filter instead" argument, and agree with
 that where the **user** chooses to supply hyphenated variable names in the
 context, I believe that as this is a new problem caused by Django itself,
 it should include a solution that is as neat as other variable lookups. In
 my case, I tried to use the seemingly-neater replacement for the clunky
 `request.META` but ran into this problem.
