@register.tag
def nav(parser, token):
    """
    Handles navigation item selection.
    
    Example usage::
    
        {# Set up the variable for use across context-stacking tags #}
        {% nav %} or {% nav for mynav %}
        
        {# Set the context so {{ nav.home }} (or {{ mynav.home }}) is True #}
        {% nav "home" %} or {% nav "home" for mynav %}
    
    The most basic (and common) use of the tag is to call ``{% nav [item] %}``,
    where ``[item]`` is the item you want to check is selected.
    
    By default, this tag creates a ``nav`` context variable. To use an
    alternate context variable name, call ``{% nav [item] for [var_name] %}``.

    To use this tag across ``{% block %}`` tags (or other context-stacking
    template tags such as ``{% for %}``), call the tag without specifying an
    item.

    Your HTML navigation template should look something like::
    
        {% block nav %}
        <ul class="nav">
            <li{% if nav.home %} class="selected"{% endif %}><a href="/">Home</a></li>
            <li{% if nav.about %} class="selected"{% endif %}><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
        </ul>
        {% endblock %}
    
    To override this in a child template, you'd do::
    
        {% include "base.html" %}
        {% load nav %}
    
        {% block nav %}
        {% nav "about" %}
        {{ block.super }}
        {% endblock %}
    
    This works for multiple levels of template inheritance, due to the fact
    that the tag only does anything if the ``nav`` context variable does not
    exist. So only the first ``{% nav %}`` call found will ever be processed.
    
    To create a sub-menu you can check against, simply dot-separate the item:: 
    
        {% nav "about_menu.info" %}
    
    This will be pass for both ``{% if nav.about_menu %}`` and
    ``{% if nav.about_menu.info %}``.
