data.

--------------------------------------------+------------------------
Django's docs have a great example of querying nested data using double
underscore syntax similar to querying across foreign keys
{{{
Dog.objects.filter(data__owner__name='Bob')
}}}
What if we wanted to update this dogs owner's name instead (without
touching anything else)? Rather than doing this
{{{
dog = Dog.objects.get(pk=n)
data = dog.data
data['owner']['name'] = 'Steve'
dog.data = data
dog.save()
}}}
It would be great to do this:
{{{
Dog.objects.filter(pk=2).update(data__owner__name='Steve')
}}}
Looks like django-postgres-extensions[0] attempts to do this, but I found
the library to be unstable on 1.11.
