Comment:
Thanks for the idea. I'm very tempted to accept this, because the lack of
this feature can lead to the temptation to hard-code the app label.
(#26547 points out this is incorrect if the `AppConfig` overrides the
label).
However, although it's just a one-liner, forcing the user to write it
themselves will probably alert them to the need to JOIN the content types,
or otherwise do an annotation, to avoid an N+1 query problem.
As silly as it might sound to go through the new feature process for this,
I think getting some confirming views there would be useful. Can I ask you
to repeat your request there, and mention the temptation to do it the
"wrong" way by hard-coding the app label?
