Comment:
On one hand, this is a cool feature, and on the other hand, it's a partial
implementation of STI. It has been implemented externally, see
django_polymorphic.
My gut feeling is that a partial implementation will be buggy in many edge
cases. To include something like this in core, we must be confident that
we can handle all cases correctly, and I don't think we have enough info
yet.
