Personally I think I like Michael's suggestion of a using method on a
queryset, and a default in Meta(pretty much the way ordering works).
To his question of reusable applications I think the solution to that
is actually something outside the scope of Django itself, a reusable's
apps views should take a db kwarg callback that takes whatever the
appropriate params and returns the db to be used.
