Hi,

About magic-removal--I have defined a ForeignKey? with limit_choices_to
for, say, "somefield". Now, when I do:

someobject.somefield

the resulting query to the related object does not use this limitation.
Shouldn't it do this? Hmm, this is a "how is it supposed to work"
question, so I'd like to see what you think.

I've posted a ticket with a patch (it's very small)

From the docs:
limit_choices_to
A dictionary of lookup arguments and values (see the Database API
reference) that limit the available admin choices for this object.

i.e. it only limits what you seen in the admin.
