get_static_prefix() as variable in a template doesn't work.

Description (last modified by Mariusz Felisiak)

I'm using Django 3.0 and I tried to use this suggestion from the Django 3.0 documentation (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/templates/builtins/#get-static-prefix):

{% load static %}
{% tkrempser as STATIC_PREFIX %}

<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi.jpg" alt="Hi!">
<img src="{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi2.jpg" alt="Hello!">

But STATIC_PREFIX variable is empty and nothing is printed on template.

Using the other suggestion:

{% load static %}
<img src="{% get_static_prefix %}images/hi.jpg" alt="Hi!">

It works as expected.
