As a built-in, probably not -- it is indeed somewhat db-specific, and
if we started added magic lookups for every possible query type we'd
never get anything else done. Luckily, it's very easy to do manually::
User.objects.extra(
where=["DIFF SOUNDEX(first_name), SOUNDEX(%s)) >=3"],
params=["John"]
)
