Comment (by jdufresne):
> I think what's trying to be implied is that you can customize the length
using the max_length option.
I agree. I think with the "by default" removed the second sentence does a
fine job of explaining that:
> FileField instances are created as varchar(100) columns in your
database. As with other fields, you can change the maximum length using
the max_length argument.
