title: Comma separated lists in django templates
body: <p>If <code>fruits</code> is the list <code>['apples', 'oranges', 'pears']</code>,</p>
  
  <p>is there a quick way using django template tags to produce "apples, oranges, and pears"?</p>
  
  <p>I know it's not difficult to do this using a loop and <code>{% if counter.last %}</code> statements, but because I'm going to use this repeatedly I think I'm going to have to learn how to write custom <del>tags</del> filters, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done.</p>
  
  <p>As an extension, my attempts to drop the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma" rel="noreferrer">Oxford Comma</a> (ie return "apples, oranges and pears") are even messier.</p>
