QuerySet.extra use case - "earth_box", "ll_to_earth"

Description

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/querysets/#extra

This is my use case:

Code highlighting:

class City(models.Model):
    longitude = models.FloatField(db_index=True)
    latitude = models.FloatField(db_index=True)

# this works:
City.objects.extra(where=['earth_box(ll_to_earth(%s,%s), %s) @> ll_to_earth(latitude, longitude)'], params=[51.41816, 15.90689, 500000])
# this does not:
City.objects.extra(where=['earth_box(ll_to_earth(%s,%s), %s) @> ll_to_earth(latitude, longitude)'], params=[F('latitude'), F('longitude'), 50000])
# psycopg2.ProgrammingError: can't adapt type 'F'

I could rewrite this in a custom Manager, but how?

Without going into too many details, I'd expect you to be able to define two user functions (something like LLToBox() taking two arguments and LLToEarthBox() taking three) and use the builtin contains comparison, or, if this doesn't work, define your own comparison.

In general, please direct such questions to the available help channels. I am closing this ticket as invalid, for more details see TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels.

@Shai Berger how i can use contains? Can you show an example queryset, how you see it?
