`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
fine, however it is not part of Django's public API.
As far as I can tell, just doing an `import` in
`django.db.models.__init__` and adding documentation should be enough to
make it public, since `prefetch_related_objects` contains all the
functionality that `prefetch_related` exposes.
