Description
Here is my problem: in a django queryset I need to call a stored procedure that does some spatial lookup. This procedure takes three parameters: two constants, and one SQL expression. This expression is equivalent to django queryset lookup: path, but as far as I know there is no way to pass L expression to queryset.extra (well, at least I tried).
It would be great if I could pass L expressions to queryset extra (somehow), could you enable it?
If it is indeed possible (well StackOverflow says it is not) please treat this ticked as a documentation update request.

extra often creates more problem than it solves. The current trend is to deprecate it rather than extend it.
The recommended way to achieve your goal is to use raw SQL.
Oh well forgot to set bug properties.
