`{% for %}` while `reversed.x` and `reversed|last` are lookups; `continued` selects that second group.
Needed because keyword extraction hands the parser the keyword wherever both it and `identifier` are
valid, so the reading in which the word names a variable has to be built back out of it. The rules are
hidden and aliased at the use site, one per level (`variable_attribute`, `value`, `filtered_value`),
because an alias renames the node its own rule makes and **cannot nest one inside another** — writing
it as nested inline `alias(alias(...))` calls silently yields a flat, partly zero-width tree that still
generates and still parses. Check the tree, not just the accept.

`{% cache 500 sidebar.name %}` names a fragment there, `{% cache 500 using="c" %}` names a fragment
called `using="c"` rather than choosing a cache, and `{% cache 500 sidebar using= %}` takes an empty
name. All three are errors here.
- `do_for` reads `reversed` off the end of the tag before it looks for `in`, so `{% for x in reversed %}`
is an error there and a loop over a variable named `reversed` here. Writing the flag as well
(`{% for x in reversed reversed %}`) is accepted by both, which is why the name is not simply reserved
in that position.
- `do_translate` refuses `as` and `noop` as the value of its `context` option, so
`{% trans "hi" context noop %}` is an error there and a context named by the variable `noop` here.
- `partial`/`partialdef` are Django builtins as of Django 6; `elif`/`else`/`empty` are modelled as parts of
their enclosing tag rather than as separate tags.

## Divergences from Django
The grammar aims to accept what Django accepts, with one deliberate exception. Where Django takes an
input without complaint but the input is almost certainly a mistake — it parses, and then silently
renders nothing or quietly ignores half of what was written — the grammar reports an error instead.
Every case below is input Django itself accepts:
- **Number-shaped names.** Django has no number token: a word is a literal if `int()` or `float()` parses
it and a variable lookup otherwise, so `0x1f`, `1a`, `1.`, `1.2.3` and `1__0` look up a variable of that
name and render nothing.
- **An attribute of `True`, `False` or `None`.** Every Django context is seeded with those three names, so
`{{ True.x }}` is an ordinary two-part lookup that can never resolve.
- **A keyword argument written twice.** `{% with a=1 a=2 %}`, and the same in `{% include %}` and
`{% blocktranslate %}`, where Django builds a dict and lets the last value win.
- **Anything after a `{% static %}` path.** `StaticNode.handle_token` looks for `as` two words from the end
and ignores the rest, so `{% static "a" junk %}` and `{% static "a" as url junk %}` render as if the
extra words were not there.
- **A `{% cache %}` argument meant as something other than the fragment name.** Django takes the raw word
in that position, so `{% cache 500 using="c" %}` names a fragment called `using="c"` rather than choosing
a cache, and `{% cache 500 sidebar.name %}` names one with a dot in it.
In the other direction the grammar is more permissive only where it cannot know better: the names a
`{% load %}` brings in live in Python, so `{{ x|lenght }}` cannot be told from a filter some library
registered, and an unknown tag's arguments are assumed to have the shape `simple_tag` gives them.
