 ManyToMany or reverse to many relationships should have a reasonable way
 to interact with them without them touching the database.

 It's hard to think about what this would look like, but it could look
 something like:

 {{{#!python
 >>> user.groups.set(users)
 >>> user.groups._cache == users  # Very explicit, unlikely to mesh well
 with future access code
 ... True
 >>> user.groups.all() == users  # Via prefetch cache. Nicer but could be
 confusing
 ... True
 >>> user.groups.save()  # explicit commit
 >>> user.save_pending_m2m()  # saves all m2ms with a pending update
 }}}
