Opening a ticket after discussion on IRC with Josh.
You can use `Expression` when updating models, but it would also be useful
to be able to use them when creating models, particularly in order to
apply database functions to newly-inserted values.
My specific use case for this is a PostgreSQL `TSVectorField`, where
instead of just inserting a value, I want to insert
`strip(to_tsvector(<ts_config>, unaccent(<value>)))`. Ideally, I would be
able to define these all as `Func`s and insert an `Expression`.
I propose to fix this by making `SQLInsertCompiler` check for
`resolve_expressions` and `as_sql`, as `SQLUpdateCompiler` does.
