Description
I would like to have a feature which can directly store dictionaries into the database. eg. My user has multiple addresses, so I can have a dictionary with keys as "home"/"office" etc, and the address object as values.
Also, a similar feature would be to have ordered list of objects.
Currently we store the many-to-one etc relationships in a table, for the above requirements we need to add another column for keys/index.
The value need not be a complex object, it can be a simple string or a number.

Sounds like what you really want is an ordered many-to-many relation. Some further solutions are here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402217/how-to-store-a-dictionary-on-a-django-model
Meanwhile, this has been proposed before, and I think Russ' comment stands: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/61f5a5b32c8d8941/d15b85ce21f5a4be
