Comment:

You're right, given a simple_tag like
{{{#!python
@register.simple_tag(name="iterable")
def iterable(a, b):
return a, b
}}}
You cannot do `{% for object in iterable 1 2 %}{{ object }}{% endfor %}`
but you can do
{{{
{% iterable 1 2 as output %}{% for object in output %}{{ object }}{%
endfor %}
}}}

I would class wanting to avoid using "as" to be a new feature request and
if this is something you feel strongly about, you can discuss this on the
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/c/internals/5 Django forum] and see if
the community agrees with you.

Personally I'm not sure it's worth it
