What would you all think about a Meta attribute for models for
select_related, analogous to ordering? i.e., default to selecting
these related fields for any query on this model.
For example, I have a model roughly like:
class Contribution(models.Model):
# content...
creator = models.ForeignKey(User)
Nearly every time I want to display a contribution, I'm going to want
the username. It would be nice if, instead of sprinkling
`select_related('creator__username')` all over the code (thanks for
that very nice addition though, Malcolm), I could just declare on the
model something like:
class Meta:
related = ('creator__username',)
Canceling could be done like `select_related('-creator__username')`
perhaps.
What do people think?
