I'm also +1 __nonezero__ -1 .exists(). Using .count() already gives us
the required functionality and makes logical sense, the only question
then is how big of a performance gain do we get by using SELECT 1
LIMIT 1.
SELECT 1 FROM [table] LIMIT 1 also feels kinda hackish to me, and I'm
guessing

Implementing the check in __nonzero__ and having people test by doing
'if some_queryset' or 'if not
+1 on both. I was needing this just the other day.

I hadn't thought of that! Yes, we should definitely implement a
QuerySet.__nonzero__() method. However, I'd like

Err, I wonder *if*. ::sigh:: :-)

I'd like to add a QuerySet.exists() method, which would return True or
False if the given QuerySet contains at least one record. This would
be more efficient than qs.count() or len(qs) because it would perform
the following SQL under the hood:
SELECT 1 FROM [table] WHERE [where] LIMIT 1;
