Comment (by wkschwartz):
I think that as a user, I would be surprised if `bulk_create` did not
execute in single (or very small number of, depending on `batch_size`)
INSERTs. I can imagine stackoverflow threads asking "How to force
bulk_create to use single insert," with answers to the effect of, "Back in
the day, it always executed in a single INSERT but now it's a bit of a
guessing game". I'm not saying that it would be a guessing game, I'm just
saying that having `bulk_create` decide what to do will feel opaque to
users. The current way it works has the advantage of being fully explicit.
Further, I'm not sure I see such an expansion of `bulk_create`'s duties as
being germane to allowing proxy models to use the method, except if your
goal is also to allow multi-table models to use it. But the latter
consideration seems like it should be a separate ticket.
