Document/make public prefetch_related_objects

[Adam Johnson]

prefetch_related is great, but it would be nice to be able to reuse its capabilities with lists of model instances already retrieved by other code (or from cache, or newly constructed, etc.). It seems this is possible by using django.db.models.query.prefetch_related_objects which is the function implementing all the prefetch capability - I've just seen it used on my project fine. Could prefetch_related_objects be documented as a part of Django's public API, or are there arguments against it?

Nothing on `query` is public at the moment - I can see the merit in adding a public API to do this kind of work though. Can you open a ticket? https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
