Having read contributing.txt not enough, I added the following comment
to the ticket (reopening it as well) in response to jacob's comment.

Could you please give a short rationale on this given that having
custom labels is not trivial as you did think before. The solution, as
SmileyChris explained, involves some code duplication (maybe more code
duplicated than the actual bits used for getting the custom label
itself)

I have a class Foo that have a user = ForeignKey(User) and would like
to choose users for Foo instances by their full name instead of by
their username. User here is the standard class from
django.contrib.auth and so it's outside my control.

The needing of displaying full names instead of usernames in a
ModelChoiceField for django.contrib.auth.models.User doesn't seem so
uncommon to me.
