Description
I have found a query use case which seems not to be covered by query() and extra().
I have two annotations: .annotate(x=Count('foo')) and .annotate(y=Count('bar')) and I want to do something like
.order_by(F('x')+F('y')).
This (as written) doesn't work, however, because order_by only takes strings.
Another solution would be to use .extra(select={z: 'x + y'}) and then .extra(order_by=['z']), but that doesn't work either, because extra can't refer to annotations.

The ORM doesn't intend to cover 100% of what you may want to do with your database. In this case, it sounds more reasonable to switch to raw SQL.

The first line of the description should read:
