Comment:
I can't think of a use case where it makes sense to add abitrary choices
to the ones available for a ModelChoiceField via its queryset. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5281195/forms-modelchoicefield-
queryset-extra-choice-fields-django-forms for a way to use a normal
ChoiceField to accomplish this.
If the desire is to change the appearance of the choices when they are
rendered, there is the `ModelChoiceField.label_from_instance` method that
can be overridden.
