Comment:

 Thanks for this ticket, however `RawSQL()` is the last resort and I don't
 think we would like to add any extra API to it. You can do the same by
 creating a custom function (preferable):
 {{{
 class CustomName(Func):
     function = 'custom_name'
     output_field = CharField()

 
Account.objects.select_related('org').annotate(org_name=CustomName('org__name')).count()
 }}}
 or by using `QuerySet.extra()` (which also supports `tables`):
 {{{
 Account.objects.select_related('org').extra(select={'org_name': 'SELECT
 custom_name(accounts_org.name)'}).count()
 }}}
 or by specifying the full subquery in `RawSQL()`:
 {{{
 Account.objects.select_related("org").annotate(org_name=RawSQL(
     'SELECT custom_name(accounts_org.name) '
     'FROM accounts_org '
     'WHERE accounts_account.org_id = ccounts_org.id
 )).count()
 }}}

 I treated this as a request for a new API, because resolving #28477 will
 strip unused annotation, so crash is a duplicate of #28477.
