#28352: values_list documentation doesn't show return type which can be
confusing

The values() documentation correctly shows the return type of the object:
{{{
>>> Entry.objects.values()
<QuerySet [{'blog_id': 1, 'headline': 'First Entry', ...}, ...]>
}}}
whereas the values_list() erroneously shows the return type as a straight
list:
{{{
>>> Entry.objects.values_list('id', 'headline')
[(1, 'First entry'), ...]
}}}
Simply wrapping <QuerySet> around the list shown might save others getting
as confused as I did.
