Comment:
This is a feature request and I'm not sure how important it is or if it
even makes sense to include. Personally I don't mind the simplicity of
getting the raw result back from the DB (it's what I'd expect when using
.extra()). You can always retrieve the value as a "hidden" field (e.g.,
'_is_recent') and add a property ('is_recent') to your model that converts
the field to the appropriate type.
