Oops. Actually let me clarify that a bit. The edit_inline definition will definitely *not* be an argument to ForeignKey, but rather an argument to either AdminSite.register or ModelAdmin (most likely the latter). Passing configuration data into ModelAdmin still hasn't been finalized, so I can't really tell you exactly what it will look like, but the main point is that edit_inline definitions will happen completely *outside* of the model.
