Comment:

 Thanks for this proposition, however I'm skeptical. I don't think it's
 worth additional complexity and potential backward incompatibility. In
 most of cases Django will already crash, e.g.
 {{{
 >>> obj.save()
 TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

 >>> obj.delete()
 TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable
 }}}

 The extra check added in #23615 was already a bit controversial (see
 [https://github.com/django/django/pull/3362#discussion_r18836742
 discussion]). You can raise the idea on the DevelopersMailingList to reach
 a wider audience and see what other think.
