After the introduction of the `Lookup` API in Django 1.7, I believe that
`django.contrib.postgres` could benefit from some custom lookups based on
the unaccent extension of PostgreSQL (see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/unaccent.html). That kind of
feature would be very helpful for a lot of people in latin countries, and
the existing solutions seems not very clean (and do not make use of the
new API).
