Comment:
It should be a validation error if `max_digits < decimal_places +1`. That
is, this would be an error detected when you run `manage.py validate`.
That's all that's required here. There will be at least one digit
(possibly an implicit zero) to the left of the decimal point.
A patch to add that check to the validation routines in
`django.core.management` will be most welcome. Thanks for taking the time
to work through this.
