Comment (by thebitguru):

 Replying to [comment:6 lukeplant]:
 > The ``.endswith("_ptr")`` checks could have some false positives, if the
 developer happened to name a field "foo_ptr", which is not forbidden IIRC.

 Thanks, Luke.  Would we want to use something like the following?

 `fields = [field.name for field in self._meta._fields() if not field.rel
 or (field.rel and not field.rel.parent_link)]`

 If so, then I can attach an updated patch.

 Also, do we need tests for this functionality before it can be considered
 for the standard code?
