Hmm ... for consistency's sake, we should change that. We do seem to be
pretty much always resolving unquoted tokens as variables in the current
context. The only real exception I can find is the "ssi" tag (you have
to gloss over unusually-shaped tags like "for", too).
Can you file a ticket, please?

I think you are confused about this being "less stable" in some sense.
Maybe what you are looking for, though, is the permalink() decorator for
models or the django.core.urlresolvers.reverse() function.
