Comment (by bmispelon):
I had a chat with Russ and he raised the following point. Consider a
custome through table that (unlike the auto-generated one) doesn't enforce
unicity on the `(model1, model2)` pair (which is a valid usecase).
Something like this:
{{{#!python
class Pizza(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class Customer(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
orders = models.ManyToManyField('Pizza', through='Order')
class Order(models.Model):
pizza = models.ForeignKey('Pizza')
customer = models.ForeignKey('Customer')
ordered_on = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
}}}
Doing `some_customer.orders.remove(some_pizza)` doesn't give enough
information as to which `Order` instance should actually be deleted.
It seems to me that we should just better document the reason behind this,
considering it's not exactly obvious.
