I don't even know what an "assignment_tag" is. I've been living in Jinja-land so long that maybe this is a newfangled feature in modern Django templates.
This is the difference between a filter or simple_tag and an assignment_tag. Definitely agree that if performance is a consideration, this is more cleanly accomplished with an assignment tag.

Even though it was already possible to write such a tag before assignment_tag is indeed a pretty new feature it's only 3 years old https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/releases/1.4/#assignment-template-tags
