Comment (by charettes):
Thinking about it I must agree that without server-side cursor support
(#16614) the tradeoff is not worth turning the simple example into a
overly complex one.
I just thought it was odd that `StreamingHttpResponse`'s documentation
mentions that ''it’s useful for generating large CSV files'' but
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/outputting-csv/ our provided
tutorial] doesn't even mention it.
What do you guys think of adding an admonition with no specific example to
the ''how-to'' explaining `StreamingHttpResponse` might be useful in this
case?
