site.pages is not meta objects.

[mythmon]

Most of the time you get a page object in templates, you get a page's meta object. This is good. However, if you ask for site.pages in a template, you get real page objects, which is bad, because site.pages[0].author is undefined.

Either site.pages should present the right objects (meta dicts instead of Page objects), or Page objects should gain an ability to mimic meta dicts (via a custom getitem method, or something).
