getListContentForData function added to lists helper.
It allows to manually set a list of entities which is to be displayed on the view. Previously, the only function was getListContent, but it retrived data on its own by a single query. The new function can be useful whenever it is impossible or very awkward to obtain entities in such a way (for example more sophisticated SQL statements).
Additionally, the getListContent function is reconstructed so that it collects the data first and then calls getListContentForData.
"""
Pages in Django can are served up with custom HTTP headers containing useful
information about those pages -- namely, the content type and object ID.
This module contains utility functions for retrieving and doing interesting
things with these special "X-Headers" (so called because the HTTP spec demands
that custom headers are prefixed with "X-").
Next time you're at slashdot.org, watch out for X-Fry and X-Bender. :)
