Comment (by Uxio0):
@GwynBleidD I see it as an issue that `F()` object is different from the
regular field issue:
`str(MyEvent.objects.values('arguments__to').query)`
`'SELECT ("myapp_myevent"."arguments" -> \'to\') FROM "myapp_myevent"'`
If I use `F()` object:
`str(MyEvent.objects.values(x=F('arguments__to')).query)`
`'SELECT "myapp_myevent"."arguments" AS "x" FROM "myapp_myevent"'`
This way I'm not able to do casting on that field, for example:
`str(MyEvent.objects.values(x=Cast(F('arguments__to'),
DecimalField())).query)`
`'SELECT ("myapp_myevent"."arguments")::numeric(None, None) AS "x" FROM
"myapp_myevent"'`
So for example I cannot find a way to translate this simple query:
`SELECT SUM((arguments -> 'to')::decimal) as my_sum FROM myapp_myevent;`
