Description
This error can be very frustrating for someone starting to get into django, as in some cases you did not mean to do a join, but mistyped a field lookup.
(For example using "regexp" instead of "regex" if you're also doing raw SQL sometimes...).
I suggest returning "Join on Field 'xyz' no permitted or mistyped field lookup 'abc'."
Would ahve saved me a lot of annoyed wtf's...

(In [9620]) Fixed #9778 -- Added some special casing of the "Join on field 'abc'" error
message. It now gives an extra hint if there's a chance you just made a typo in
the lookup type.
