It is possible to attach signals to `settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL` while taking its swappable nature into account.
There might be a better way but that's how I've done it for a reusable application of mine<https://github.com/charettes/django-tenancy/blob/d6d63af092439a6f66a56ff490efb1f358c02e73/tenancy/signals.py#L8-L25>using the ` class_prepared<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/signals/#django.db.models.signals.class_prepared>` signal. The technique involves looking up the model cache by app_label and model (retrieved from splitting `settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL` by '.') and falling back to `class_prepared` if it's not loaded yet. When you have a reference to the model, either through `get_model` or `class_prepared` callback, you can proceed to signal connecting. It's a shame `class_prepared`'s sender is the model class and not a str of the `app_label.ModelName` form (just like related fields handle deferred reference). I wonder if it could be possible to change its behavior while maintaining backward compatibility by making a `model_class` an instance of a `Signal` subclass instead.
