Description

I was able to successfully add it to my project, but it seems so basic and general that I would like to see it added to Django.

class ExtractQuarter(Extract):
    lookup_name = "quarter"

DateField.register_lookup(ExtractQuarter)

You probably also want to add a corresponding Trunc function, though I haven't tested it.

class TruncQuarter(TruncBase):
    kind = "quarter"

Oracle and PostgreSQL have built-in functionality for truncating a date to the first month of a quarter. However, in Oracle, it rounds up (https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/functions271.htm#SQLRF52058) and in PostgreSQL, it's always rounded down (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-TRUNC). Neither SQLite or MySQL has a convenient built-in functionality and it's a matter of interpretation.

The Extract functionality is implemented, and has the same behavior on all backends.
