I've been working with the descriptor protocol on RelatedManager objects recently; I have added a __set__ for single object descriptors so you can do choice.poll = p. I can see the merit in finishing the descriptor protocol for all m2m objects. So:
book.authors = [author1, author2]
would be equivalent to
book.author.clear(); book.author.add(author1, author2)
We could possibly do a similar thing with __delete__, but I'm not sure that the interpretation is quite as clear (does it map to delete() on all QuerySets, or to clear(), but only on m2m RelatedManagers?)
Opinions?

fields. For ManyToMany, you do:
book.author.add(author1, author2...)
I guess it would be good if the __set__ descriptor was there, and either
did the right thing or threw some exception.
