The documentation on the semantics and usage for the `expression`
parameter in the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.from_db_value
`from_db_value` converter] is nowhere to be found.
The only two places that mention this method are the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.from_db_value
Model field reference] and the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/custom-model-fields
/#converting-values-to-python-objects "Writing custom model fields"
guide], but neither mention what `expression` is or how it should be used.
In fact, there is no specification for `value` or `connection` either, but
at least the meaning of these parameters can be inferred.
