Bug in {% load %}

[Bjørn Stabell <bjorn@…>]

According to {% load %} you can load templatetags that are in subdirectories, e.g. {% load news.blah %}. This didn't work for me; I kept getting errors.

Applying the below patch seems to work. I don't know why taglib.split('.')[-1]) was done in the first place? It's been like this for as far back as I could trace the revisions in on this Trac. A related ticket might be #372.
