    """
    Redirect to a given URL.

    The given url may contain dict-style string formatting, which will be
    interpolated against the params in the URL.  For example, to redirect from
    ``/foo/<id>/`` to ``/bar/<id>/``, you could use the following URLconf::

        urlpatterns = patterns('',
            ('^foo/(?P<id>\d+)/$', 'django.views.generic.simple.redirect_to', {'url' : '/bar/%(id)s/'}),
        )

    If the given url is ``None``, a HttpResponseGone (410) will be issued.

    If the ``permanent`` argument is False, then the response will have a 302
    HTTP status code. Otherwise, the status code will be 301.
