Decorator for Django views that sends returned dict to render_to_response function
with given template and RequestContext as context instance.
If view doesn't return dict then decorator simply returns output.
Additionally view can return two-tuple, which must contain dict as first
element and string with template name as second. This string will
override template name, given as parameter
Parameters:
- template: template name to use
