Per my patches and what I believe Malcom has done with qsrf, the
syntax for related fields was field__related__name, and yes, you would
repeat this over and over, but it keeps it consistant.
I would like a values-like method to return partial objects, and then
requesting any field thats not

Often I need methods defined in models and isn't available at

I made a patch for Django to add QuerySet.fields(*fields,
**related_fields) and make possible to load only some from master and
