28177	Clarify documentation with regards to Q objects and OR	Yoong Kang Lim	Yoong Kang Lim	"In the QuerySet documentation it is written:

  In general, Q() objects make it possible to define and reuse conditions. This permits the construction of complex database queries using | 
  (OR) and & (AND) operators; **in particular, it is not otherwise possible to use OR in QuerySets**.

It's possible to use OR without Q objects by simply using the | operator on two querysets, e.g:

{{{
queryset = Article.objects.filter(headline__startswith='Hello') | Article.objects.filter(headline__startswith='Goodbye')
}}}

Examples of this still remain in in the or_lookups tests, although I must confess I haven't used this style much.

Perhaps the wording should be changed, or simply removed."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
