34. Generic relations

Generic relations let an object have a foreign key to any object through a
content-type/object-id field. A ``GenericForeignKey`` field can point to any
object, be it animal, vegetable, or mineral.

The canonical example is tags (although this example implementation is *far*
from complete).
