We did this for 1.6 and it was very effective. 95%+ of fixes which merge
during the alpha are backported, as the policy is "all but really major
features". It's easier to just not merge any really major features.
After beta, we have feature freeze so we need to backport bugs to stable
but not features, so then the branch makes sense.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
Allowed users to specify which lookups or transforms ("nested lookus")
are available for fields. The implementation is now class based.

commit f2dc4429a1
Author: Marc Tamlyn <marc.tamlyn@gmail.com>
Date: Sun Jan 12 13:15:05 2014 +0000
Reworked custom lookups docs.
Mostly just formatting and rewording, but also replaced the example
using ``YearExtract`` to use an example which is unlikely to ever be
possible directly in the ORM.

Altered query string customization for backends vendors
The new way is trying to call first method 'as_' + connection.vendor.
If that doesn't exist, then call as_sql().
Also altered how lookup registration is done. There is now
RegisterLookupMixin class that is used by Field, Extract and
sql.Aggregate. This allows one to register lookups for extracts and
aggregates in the same way lookup registration is done for fields.

Date: Wed Nov 27 22:07:30 2013 +0200
Initial implementation of custom lookups
Also ensured the transaction state is clean on Oracle while I was there.
This change cannot be backported to 1.6 because it's
backwards-incompatible for custom database backends.
Originating WSGIRequests are now attached to the ``wsgi_request`` attribute of
the ``HttpResponse`` returned by the testing client.
Thanks rvdrijst for the suggestion.
