    This is a wrapper for :py:func:`flask.url_for`

    needs.

    To build a URL for a Flask view, pass the name of the blueprint and the
    view function separated by a period ``.``, plus any URL parameters::

        url_for('api.action', ver=3, logic_function='status_show')
        # Returns /api/3/action/status_show

    For a fully qualified URL pass the ``_external=True`` parameter. This

        url_for('api.action', ver=3, logic_function='status_show',
                _external=True)

    Or, using a named route::

    Use ``qualified=True`` for a fully qualified URL when targeting a Pylons
    endpoint.

    For backwards compatibility, an effort is made to support the Pylons syntax
    when building a Flask URL, but this support might be dropped in the future,
    so calls should be updated.
