Comment:
It's a lot of hoops to jump through to do that however:
1. Subclass `QuerySetIterator`
2. On your iterator subclass, override (and duplicate most of) the
`__iter__` method to just yield something other than `smart_unicode(obj)`
3. Subclass `ModelChoiceField` or `ModelMultipleChoiceField`
4. On your field subclass, create (mostly duplicate) `_get_choices` and
`_set_choices` methods and set `choices = property(_get_choices,
_set_choices)` so you can use your subclassed iterator
I've had this request again recently on IRC - are you sure it's wontfix?
(even if it is in a different way to the current patch)
