Misleading model formsets docs

Description

The following example could easily generate an invalid queryset:

from django.forms.models import BaseModelFormSet

class BaseAuthorFormSet(BaseModelFormSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(BaseAuthorFormSet, self).get_queryset().filter(name__startswith='O')

Calling super method will slice the queryset if max_num is set, and thus filter on the slice will be invalid. The following would be more correct:

from django.forms.models import BaseModelFormSet

class BaseAuthorFormSet(BaseModelFormSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        if not hasattr(self, '_queryset'):
            if self.queryset is not None:
                qs = self.queryset
            else:
                qs = self.model._default_manager.get_query_set().filter(name__startswith='O')
            if self.max_num > 0:
                self._queryset = qs[:self.max_num]
            else:
                self._queryset = qs
        return self._queryset

Reviewing it again I realize it should read:

from django.forms.models import BaseModelFormSet

class BaseAuthorFormSet(BaseModelFormSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        if not hasattr(self, '_queryset'):
            if self.queryset is not None:
                qs = self.queryset
            else:
                qs = self.model._default_manager.get_query_set()
            qs = qs.filter(name__startswith='O')
            if self.max_num > 0:
                self._queryset = qs[:self.max_num]
            else:
                self._queryset = qs
        return self._queryset
