Description

I have defined a ForeignKey with limit_choices_to for say "somefield".
Now, when I do:

someobject.somefield

the resulting query to the related object does not use this limitation. Shouldn't it do this?

I'm not absolutely sure on this, though, but would be very interested in the reasons if I'm wrong.

limit_choices_to only affects what you see in the admin, as per the docs. If you want this kind of functionality, use a custom default manager (there are examples in the tests at least).
