So I created it: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25871 Feel free to leave comments there if you feel that's a good idea, and to discuss some API ideas (like how to preserve existing **kwargs in values()).

If someone was to put forward a proposal that could work and wouldn't unnecessarily burden users that aren't intimately familiar with SQL, then that would likely be welcome. Anssi mentioned exposing the underlying grouping method/dict which may be a good idea, but we'd like to avoid messing around with internal state too much. Personally, I don't find grouping to be too much of a problem. Django generates the correct grouping based on what you've limited the columns to in your `values()` clause. There are outliers which we can maybe defend against with docs. The most unintuitive thing is adding `Meta: ordering` columns to the group by list, but I think that changed recently, or was just added? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
