Description
I was trying to create a blog index, similar to the Django weblog, which has a Month and Year archive sidebar.
I figured the correct thing to use was the archive_index generic view, but the date list only gives me years.
I can almost see the reason for this, as archive_index would drill down to archive_year, but it's rare that you would list the years first except for very long-running blogs.
I propose a new argument to archive_index of "date_list_period" which can be 'year' (default) or 'month'.

Hold on a bit... if I have data from multiple years in my database, isn't this going to collapse *all* the January months into one? That's considered useful?!
The documentation is a little confusing to me. It's correct, but doesn't really tell me *what* a year or month year does. Could we put in a little example of what the output of each might look like so that a user knows why they might want one or the other option?
