Comment:
Improving Django's serialisation is a task that has been proposed a number
of times, and has been the subject of at least one Summer of Code project,
and a number of unsuccessful SoC applications.
I strongly advise that if you're planning this to be integrated into
trunk, you spend some time discussing your proposal on django-dev, because
what you've proposed here isn't likely to get far. Look through the
mailing list archives for more details, but in short, I don't think you'll
get a lot of support for adding small features to the existing serializer.
What is needed is a genuinely configurable serialisation approach,
allowing configuration of serialization depth, format, key naming, and so
on. We need to solve the *whole* problem, not just address a very specific
subset of the problem that you're currently experiencing.
For administrative purposes, I'm comfortable calling this a duplicate of
#4656 (since what you're talking about here is a depth=1 subset of the
functionality described in that ticket).
