Comment (by Paolo Melchiorre):

 Replying to [comment:11 Lily Foote]:
 > I'm curious if there are other expressions that could lead to an
 increased column size or if it's just `Concat`.

 Unfortunately, many other cases come to mind, for example a field
 generated as a product of two IntegerField which should be a
 BigIntegerField.

 > If that's not feasible I would lean towards detecting the case where the
 column size could be invalid and require `output_field` explicitly in
 those cases. I'd be sad if `GeneratedField` always required an explicit
 `output_field`.

 I agree with you but from the various tests I have done there are more and
 more cases in which the automatically derived output field has problems.
