Comment (by Johannes Maron):
Hi there,
The author of both the autocomplete integration as well as the django-
select2 package here.
So, I understand you point and frustration. However, the second solution
you are proposing actually looks a lot cleaner to me, than to arbitrarily
add a second options object.
Just of consistency I would keep the options we pass to
`djangoAdminSelect2` the same as the once you'd pass to `select2`. It
would make it very confusing for many folk if we break with the `select2`
API.
All that aside, this is not a public API. Therefore, your best bet is to
overwrite the whole file, if you need some special implementation or use
`django-select2` or your special needs.
Please, if you want to change the options object structure, I must kindly
ask you to try your luck with the Select2 project first. We simply don't
have the resources to maintain a custom implementation.
Best,
Joe
