Hello,

Provided:

    class M(models.Model):
        n = models.IntegerField()
        r = models.IntegerField()
        t = models.IntegerField()
        s = models.IntegerField()
        u = models.IntegerField()

    class F(models.Model):
        g = models.ForeignKey(M, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
        a = models.IntegerField()
        b = models.IntegerField()
        c = models.IntegerField()
        d = models.IntegerField()
        e = models.IntegerField()


I want to obtain with a queryset all fields from F and M.n, but not the other 
fields of M like M.r, so that a single SELECT is generated, that doesn't pick 
unnecessary columns.

F.objects.select_related('g').defer('g__r', 'g__t', 'g__s', 'g__u') does work, 
but I don't like it, as I want to say only M.n has to be obtained, and not the 
others.

prefetch_related() is also suboptimal, as it creates two SQL queries instead of 
one. only() does not let me specify 'All fields of F'.

So here neither only() nor defer() nor prefetch_related() are good.

F.objects.select_related('g__n') would fit from logic, but does not work 
(django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Non-relational field given in 
select_related: 'n'. Choices are: (none))

I propose teaching select_related() to accept the above expression.
