CMSPlugin.get_plugin_instance performance consideration

[ojii]

In order to allow developers to use custom managers on their plugin model classes to auto-select_related related models, get_plugin_instance should probably use plugin_class.model.objects.get(cmsplugin_ptr=self), since the current implementation uses plugin_class._base_manager (see django.db.models.fields.related.SingleRelatedObjectDescriptor.__get__) ignoring all custom managers. The only advantage of using the SingleRelatedObjectDescriptor to access the plugin instance here is that this descriptor caches the object. This could be implemented easily in our code though.

EDIT: possibly also mention in the docs how you can auto-select_related stuff

@ojii is this still relevant or might it be closed?
