 This may (or may not) be related to the bug being fixed in PR4385
 (https://github.com/django/django/pull/4385) and/or #14645, however even
 if it is I think this displays an interesting facet to this.

 The order Q clauses are specified in the Q expression will affect the
 (in)correctness of the generated query.

 Using django 1.8.3 example models.py:

 {{{
 from django.db import models

 class ModelA ( models.Model ):
         pass

 class ModelB ( models.Model ):
         a = models.ForeignKey ( ModelA )

         field_f = models.IntegerField ()
         field_g = models.IntegerField ()
 }}}

 Specify the query one way around:

 {{{
 >>> x = ModelA.objects.filter ( ( Q ( modelb__field_f = 3 ) & Q (
 modelb__field_g__gte = 50 ) ) | ~Q ( modelb__field_f = 3 ) ).distinct ()
 >>> str ( x.query )
 'SELECT DISTINCT "dummy_modela"."id" FROM "dummy_modela" LEFT OUTER JOIN
 "dummy_modelb" ON ( "dummy_modela"."id" = "dummy_modelb"."a_id" ) WHERE
 (("dummy_modelb"."field_f" = 3 AND "dummy_modelb"."field_g" >= 50) OR NOT
 ("dummy_modela"."id" IN (SELECT U1."a_id" AS Col1 FROM "dummy_modelb" U1
 WHERE (U1."field_f" = 3 AND U1."id" = ("dummy_modelb"."id")))))'
 }}}

 Generates one piece of SQL. Specify it in a different order:

 {{{
 >>> y = ModelA.objects.filter ( (~Q ( modelb__field_f = 3 )) | ( Q (
 modelb__field_f = 3 ) & Q ( modelb__field_g__gte = 50 ) ) ).distinct ()
 >>> str ( y.query )
 'SELECT DISTINCT "dummy_modela"."id" FROM "dummy_modela" LEFT OUTER JOIN
 "dummy_modelb" ON ( "dummy_modela"."id" = "dummy_modelb"."a_id" ) WHERE
 (NOT ("dummy_modela"."id" IN (SELECT U1."a_id" AS Col1 FROM "dummy_modelb"
 U1 WHERE U1."field_f" = 3)) OR ("dummy_modelb"."field_f" = 3 AND
 "dummy_modelb"."field_g" >= 50))'
 }}}

 Generates quite different SQL, which returns different results.

 Would like to be sure PR4385 fixes this case.
