I’m also -1 on the “quoting keys” suggestion because it breaks consistency. Another place we parse plain keys without quotes is [custom template tags](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/howto/custom-template-tags/#simple-tags).

Adding `**kwargs` support sounds like the best way forward to me, and best done as a follow up feature.

Edit: another option could be supporting `{% querystring mydict %}`.
