There is currently no documentation in topics or the reference about how
''specifically'' to use `Meta.base_manager_name` and I think an example
could alleviate the confusion this causes.
I had some trouble in a library I maintain (https://github.com/agilgur5
/django-serializable-model/issues/4#issuecomment-519338032), where I
mistakenly thought that `base_manager_name` should be set to,
''literally'' the name of the manager, as in the string equivalent to the
name of the class of the manager (in my case, `'SerializableManager'`),
similar to how one may reference models by string.
Through finding some examples online like
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48124863/3431180, I realized it's supposed to
be the name of the attribute on the current class that contains the
instance of the manager (in my case, `'objects'`).
An example would really clear things up very concisely.
