Separate sequence property specifiers

[alfawal]

When using

get_next_value("orders", initial_value=100, reset_value=500)

I can easily tell what this function does and what values to expect, but if this sequence name was used in multiple files as

get_next_value("orders")

it wouldn't be obvious or it would be hard to figure out what the initial_value or the rest_value is.

My proposal is doing one of:

1. allowing a declarative class usage:

orders_sequence = DjangoSequence("orders", initial_value=100, reset_value=500)

get_next_value(orders_sequence)

2. enum-like usage:

class DjangoSequences:
    ORDERS = DjangoSequence("orders", initial_value=100, reset_value=500)

get_next_value(DjangoSequences.ORDERS)

My current usage is like the following:

orders_sequence = {"sequence_name": "orders", "initial_value": 100, "reset_value": 500}

get_next_value(**orders_sequence)

Search for "object-oriented API" in the README. I believe that it does what you want. If not, could you clarify why it doesn't?

Yes this is what I was looking for, I thought it was something else. I will give it a try. Thanks a lot.
