newforms: {{ form.field.label }} should output <label> when auto_id present

Description

class MyForm(Form):
    field = CharField(label="Test")

def myview(request):
    form = MyForm(auto_id="id_%s")
    return render_to_response("test.html", {"form": form})

# test.html
{{ form.field.label }}

yields "Test". As auto_id is set, I would expect this to output <label for="id_field">Test:</label>, as form.as_table and other functions already do. If you don't want the <label>, you won't be using auto_id anyway.

Nevermind, marking invalid. This can already be done, just not as the default behavior as I expected. In case anyone ends up here from searching, you can already do this using

form.field.label_tag

Or in your template as {{ form.field.label_tag }}.
