Description
A while ago, we started using {{ django.template.loaders.cached.Loader }} for performance reasons.
Today, we noticed that we needed to restart the runserver each time we changed the template.
Would you accept a patch to the cached.Loader which respects the mtime of a loaded template?

Thanks Tim for finding the related issue.
I don't know if I would agree with the new title. Actually, I do not want to reload/replace the already loaded template.
Looking at the source, I would say, we could make 'Loader.cache_key' respect the mtime of the first found template.
So, they are two versions of the template in the cache but a cache does not need to be perfect after all and the increased memory footprint would not even matter in development.
