I'd like this!

Is it not possible for this to be a 3rd party module instead of part of django.contrib?

There's already a lot of Postgres-specific 3rd party modules. This kickstarter is exactly about integrating some of those into contrib.
> The choice of PostgreSQL comes down to a combination of personal preference and the existence of a wider range of missing features than any other database Django supports.

Like Oracle DB? ;) Though, to be fair, I haven't heard of many Oracle backed Django instances.

I think that this is a good way to go about broadening a particular DB's support: implement in contrib, and make the general ORM capable of utilizing such contributions when available, while retaining regular DB support.
