27970	Allow in_bulk() to use other unique fields besides the primary key	Tom Carrick	Tom Carrick	"Currently `in_bulk()` has a very limited set of use-cases, especially since a lot of Django users prefer to keep the ID as the PK even when another field could be used. It could be expanded to be more useful if it could be used on fields other than the ID.

For backwards compatibility, it should only work on unique fields.

Proposed syntax: `Foo.objects.in_bulk(['1', '2', 'AB123'], field='account_number')`"	New feature	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
