necessarily objects

This is a tiny thing I came across. The docs for
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/class-based-views/mixins-
single-object/#django.views.generic.detail.SingleObjectMixin.model
SingleObjectMixin.model] and [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref
/class-based-views/mixins-multiple-
object/#django.views.generic.list.MultipleObjectMixin.model
MultipleObjectMixin.model] both say:
> The model that this view will display data for. Specifying `model = Foo`
is effectively the same as specifying `queryset = Foo.objects.all()`.
But peeking at the code, this isn't quite true -- in both cases
([https://github.com/django/django/blob/8c581ff39475c1b3b25d60945cc1c73a7f8eb1be/django/views/generic/detail.py#L67-L68
here] and
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/8c581ff39475c1b3b25d60945cc1c73a7f8eb1be/django/views/generic/list.py#L37-L38
here]), the default manager is used, which is not necessarily `objects`.
Is it worth making this more precise? The docs don't mention default
managers very often.
