The docs say `prefetch_related_objects()`
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/models/querysets/#django.db.models.prefetch_related_objects
accepts iterables], but it only accepts sequences.
{{{#!py
In [1]: from django.db.models import prefetch_related_objects
In [2]: objs = set(Graph.objects.all())
In [3]: prefetch_related_objects(objs, "node_set")

2362 to_attr = lookup.get_current_to_attr(level)[0]

TypeError: 'set' object is not subscriptable
}}}
We could adjust the docs, but at a glance we could probably instead adjust
the implementation to just `next()` instead of `[0]` and accept iterables
as documented.
