Could you please give a short rationale on this given that having custom
labels [comment:ticket:4620:5 is not trivial] as you did think before. The
solution, as SmileyChris explained, involves some code duplication (maybe
more code duplicated than the actual bits used for getting the custom
label itself)
I have a class {{{Foo}}} that have a {{{user = ForeignKey(User)}}} and
would like to choose users for {{{Foo}}} instances by their full name
instead of by their username. {{{User}}} here is the standard class from
{{{django.contrib.auth}}} and so it's outside my control.
The needing of displaying full names instead of usernames in a
{{{ModelChoiceField}}} for {{{django.contrib.auth.models.User}}} doesn't
seem so uncommon to me.
