Retrieves ``ContentType`` and content objects for the given list of

the ``number_of_tagged_items * 2`` queries you'd get by iterating
over the list and accessing each item's ``object`` attribute.
A ``select_related_for`` argument can be used to specify a list of
of model names (corresponding to the ``model`` field of a
``ContentType``) for which ``select_related`` should be used when
retrieving model instances.
