Description

After playing with the serializer stuff, I wanted to be able to limit which fields in the model were serialized. The app I
was playing with had a few fields that I didn't need and didn't really want in publicly viewable JavaScript. This would look something like:

serializers.serialize('json', foo.objects.all(), fields=('somefield', 'anotherfield'))

The patch provides "fields" as an optional parameter. Without it, the serializer works as normal.
