the
__

In Django 5.1 ticket #10743 was implemented: `ModelAdmin.list_display now
supports using __ lookups to list fields from related models.` This is
great!
However, the default label in the admin list is the full thing, which can
get very long and wordy. For example in my `UserAdmin` config I can add
`account_settings__pace_account_id` to the `list_display` (the `User`
model has a one-to-one relationship with an `AccountSettings` model). The
label in the Django Admin then becomes "ACCOUNT SETTINGS PACE ACCOUNT ID"
which is extremely long. I would've expected it to be simply "PACE ACCOUNT
ID".
So the result is that I am never using the new double underscore lookup
feature for `list_display`, and instead I am still creating small getter
functions like this:
{{{
def pace_account_id(self, obj):
return obj.account_settings.pace_account_id
}}}
Is there any chance that the way the label for double-underscore-
containing `list_display` values is generated could be changed, so that
only the bit after the double underscore is shown?
