A common idiom is also
```
try:
foo = Foo.objects.get(x="foo")
except Foo.DoesNotExist:
foo = None
```
which is pretty pythonic IMO, but I wouldn't be opposed to a keyword-only
argument on `get` that returns `None` if not found
```
foo = Foo.objects.get(x="foo", strict=False)
# or
foo = Foo.objects.get(x="foo", raises=False)
```
As it stands your current proposal isn't much different from filter() then
first(), IMO, the method names change but the amount of chaining is the
same.
