Description

app_label, model_name (e.g. ('news', 'story')) is often passed around internally in our codebase.

The attached patch would be nice in Django, since otherwise we do a little hula to get the ContentType object. Doing a direct query would miss the handy cache ContentTypeManager includes.

Adds get_for_app_label_and_model_name to ContentTypeManager. Obviously a terrible name.

To be clear, in my report here, by "our codebase", I mean the codebase for pegasusnews.com, not Django itself.
