Comment:
`through_defaults` are values that are used to create a missing
relationship between two entities that related to each other through a
many-to-many relationship.
If the relationship already exists between the origin and the destination,
like it's the case when you do `statement.section.add(sect,
through_defaults={"sl_version":new_version})`, then they are ignored as
expected as `ManyToManyField` only supports a single related value between
two entities.
This is reflected in other APIs such as `statement.section.remove` which
doesn't specify through values.
In other words, while `ManyToManyField` supports relationship annotations
these annotations cannot uniquely define the relationship between the
related objects; `ManyToManyField` doesn't support multi-dimensional
relationships.
