 Given the following models

 {{{#!python
 class Chef(model.Model):
     pass

 class Restaurant(models.Model):
     chef = models.ForeignKey(Chef)

 class ItalianRestaurant(Restaurant):
     pass
 }}}

 Then given `restaurant.chef` is cached accessing
 `restaurant.italianrestaurant.chef` shouldn't incur an additional query.
 e.g.

 {{{#!python
 chef = Chef.objects.create()
 italian_restaurant = ItalianRestaurant.objects.create(chef=chef)
 # A single query with two joins
 restaurant = Restaurant.objects.select_related('chef',
 'italianrestaurant').get(pk=italian_restaurant.pk)
 assert restaurant.chef == chef  # Currently no queries.
 assert restaurant.italian_restaurant == italian_restaurant  # Currently no
 queries.
 assert restaurant.italian_restaurant.chef is restaurant.chef  # Currently
 fails and performs a query.
 }}}
