No you didn't. You saw it in the initial proposal for a ticket (#5420), but that isn't what was eventually committed. You have to read down to the end of the ticket to see what made it into the code. The documentation only talks about defer() and only(). That feature is in django 1.1-beta-1, but nothing earlier, so you would have to be using the latest code. However, ask yourself if you really need this. The answer is almost certainly "no". If you only want particular values from a model, use the values() method on a queryset and you'll get back only those values. Alternatively, just get the whole model back. The use-cases for needing to defer the loading of particular fields is very, very small. Names, addresses and so forth are not going to be in that use-case.
