Type checking templatetag filters

It's often useful to be able to check the type of an object in templates. Most recently I used this to do some trickery in my forms for certain field types. These template filters allow you to match the type of an object or a field widget with a string. It returns True if it matches and False if it doesn't or there is an error. for example: {% if form|obj_type:'mycustomform' %} <form class="custom" action=""> {% else %} <form action=""> {% endif %} {% if field|field_type:'checkboxinput' %} <label class="cb_label">{{ field }} {{ field.label }}</label> {% else %} <label for="id_{{ field.name }}">{{ field.label }}</label> {{ field }} {% endif %}
