I noticed that the jsonb field indexing in postgres which is so handy in 
filtering does not seem to extend to calls to values().  After digging around a 
bit, it seems that sql.query.get_transform() is only called when building a 
filter, but not when adding fields for a values call.

Using transforms in both places was mentioned as part of the now closed feature 
request, #21863, which states that the "values() call will use always 
get_transform() so .values('hstorefield__exact') will work correctly”.   This 
was a little confusing because values does not use “lookup”, which seems to 
refer only to the comparison type extension in the filter string, but I am 
still relatively new to django so maybe I’m missing something.

I don’t see evidence of any further discussion of the effect on values calls.  
Anyone know if this was on purpose, or just an oversight?

Thanks,
-Rishi.
