NEW: render_to_response and render_to_string

[Adrian Holovaty]

I've added two new helper functions that help you use less code:

    django.core.extensions.render_to_response()
    django.core.template_loader.render_to_string()

Here's an example.

OLD:

    from django.core import template, template_loader
    from django.utils.httpwrappers import HttpResponse
    def foo_view(request):
        t = template_loader.get_template('foo/foo_detail')
        c = template.Context({'foo': 'bar'})
        return HttpResponse(t.render(c))

NEW:

    from django.core.extensions import render_to_response
    def foo_view(request):
        return render_to_response('foo/foo_detail', {'foo': 'bar'})

The first argument to render_to_response() is the template name to
load. The second (optional) is a dictionary to use in the template
context. The third (optional) is an instance of template.Context (or a
subclass) to use.

render_to_string() takes the same arguments and does the same thing,
except it returns a string instead of an HttpResponse.
