#23683: CharField's max_length is Incorrectly Listed as Optional in
Documentation

-------------------------------+--------------------
The documentation (for all currently documented versions of Django) on the
CharField class states that it:
{{{
Has two optional arguments for validation:
max_length
min_length
}}}
However, if you actually try to create a CharField without a max_length
Django will complain:
{{{
"some_field": CharFields require a "max_length" attribute that is a
positive integer.
}}}
So, it seems that the max_length arg is required by Django, but listed as
optional in the documentation, and thus it appears the documentation
requires an update.
