Description
Current options
For simple snippets, the syntax for passing variables to render is verbose.
{% render 'snippet', product: product %}
{% render 'snippet' with { product: product} %}
{% render 'snippet' with product as product %}
Simplified options
It would be handy to optionally omit the duplication when the variable names match
{% render 'snippet', product %}
{% render 'snippet' with product %}
