Description

Both of these threads cover the same issue:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/98b7aedf8f9d806c

http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/b129d64b1ed77e28

To summarize, I can get all Reporters who have associated Articles by doing: 

        Reporter.objects.filter(article__isnull = False)

But, I can't get Reporters who have *no* associated Article by doing: 

        Reporter.objects.filter(article__isnull = True)

as it returns an empty list, since the article property does not exist for those Reporters, and thus, it can't even be null.

Furthermore, being able to do the same in limit_choices_to would be extremely useful.
