In the process of adapting to the new autoescaping thing, I've occasionally run into the sad situation where my development Django instance needs autoescape template tags in order to work, but when that code goes into production, I'm on a pre-autoescape Django revision. Hilarious hijinx ensue.

This snippet will attempt to load the new safe and force_safe filters and the autoescape template tag - failing the imports, it'll safely do nothing. The effect is that if you write templates for post-autoescape, but you still need them to work in pre-autoescape, this'll prevent the new filters and tags from causing errors in your older Django instances.
