* Removed type coercion. Options created by argparse are already coerced
to the correct type.
* Removed fallback default values. Options created by argparse already
have a default value.
* Used direct indexing. Options created by argparse are always set. This
eliminates the need to use dict.get().
* Two new global settings that will be used by -- **but are not limited to** -- the staticfiles app: STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL.
* Moving the 'django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles' template tag to the core ('django.templatetags.static') and renaming it to 'get_static_prefix'.
* Moving the context processor 'django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles' to the core ('django.core.context_processors.static') and renaming it to 'static'.
* Paths in media definitions will use STATIC_URL as the prefix if the value is not None, and falls back to the previously used MEDIA_URL.
Thanks again to the community for constructive criticism and Carl and Russ for sanity-inducing discussions on IRC.
