New description:
With two models:
{{{#!python
class Book(Model):
name = CharField(max_length=100)
class Author(Model):
books = ManyToManyField(Book)
}}}
it is possible to create a prefetch query that loses data from
{{{Author.books}}}:
{{{#!python
poems = Book.objects.filter(name='Poems')
Author.objects.prefetch_related(
Prefetch('books', queryset=poems, to_attr='books'),
)
}}}
When this queryset is evaluated, each Author's {{{books}}} is overridden
by the {{{poems}}} queryset.
