I know that it does not work in the general case, but still having 
orthogonal processing of RAW queries with the same filter() / order_by() 
calls matches Django's DRY philosophy.
Raw queries which has hardcoded WHERE and ORDER BY statements will simply 
raise an error when another WHERE / ORDER BY statement is added by filter() 
/ order_by().
But there is no point to specify WHERE manually when there is filter() 
available and such error brings no direct harm.
I implemented it mostly to use in paginated ListView-like CBVs with LEFT 
JOIN. Here is the example of real query from private project:

'SELECT isp_finances_profilerequisites.*, '
'isp_user_profile.user_id, isp_user_profile.last_name, 
isp_user_profile.first_name, isp_user_profile.is_verified, isp_user_profile.inn 
'
'FROM isp_user_profile '
'LEFT JOIN isp_finances_profilerequisites '
'ON isp_finances_profilerequisites.profile_id = isp_user_profile.user_id '
'JOIN auth_user '
'ON auth_user.id = isp_user_profile.user_id '


Is such RAW query (with working pagination and sorting) possible to convert 
to model manager QuerySet query?
