It is fairly small, especially if there are not signals attached. When
signals are attached, it's less trivial.

My concern here is that I don't want to make anything slower than it
has to be. If there's no point having a pre and post add signal, then
I don't want to make every m2m operations slower just because I can.

I suppose the underlying question is twofold:
 * What is the 'right' signal sending behaviour, independent of the
cost of signals?
 * Does the 'right' behaviour change if you account for the fact that
signals aren't free?
