- only has issues with related objects and prefetch_related
  - User.objects.all().prefetch_related("post_set").only("name", "post_set") will result in an error. Use defer instead to exclude data you don't need.
- Idea: Build function that automatically adds only or defer to a queryset based on the Serializer
