    Filter - returns a list containing range made from given value
    Usage (in template):

    <ul>{% for i in 3|get_range %}
      <li>{{ i }}. Do something</li>

    Results with the HTML:

      <li>1. Do something</li>
      <li>2. Do something</li>

This should be a default filter

This may also be useful: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1926/ It lets you use the full power of range (ie, specifying a start, stop and step).

Err, that link should be: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1926/

for one based, you can add 1 via a list comprehension

return [v + 1 for v in range(value)]

Would it make more sense to call this as_range instead of get_range?
