Comment (by Willem Van Onsem):

It is indeed discouraged, but the fact that `app_name` "breaks" it, is a
bit of an "admission of weakness". Indeed, there are Django apps that
could use reverse and plug in a view function reference. Now if one would
use such Django app, and then later include it in `urls.py` with an
`app_name`, the problems start occurring, so either it makes sense to
disable passing view function references at all, or these have to span
over the entire app.

The patch is just some fast prototyping, I think the main problem is
"proving" its soundness and completeness, which is of course difficult,
given the nice Christmas tree that building the reverse dictionary has
become :).
