-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 Given a scenario such as a signal being called post_save to send a welcome
 email to a new user, the loaddata management command attempts to call this
 signal resulting in, at best but still no good, an email being sent to the
 user, or at worst, loaddata failure. Obviously, with as many times as one
 is likely to need to resync and reload data during development, it's not
 ideal to have a welcome email sent on every iteration.

 Ideally, I'd like to see an argument that could be passed to loaddata to
 disable signal processing. Something along the lines of: "python manage.py
 loaddata mydata.json --nosignals". This method seems best, since
 potentially, there might be circumstances where you would want the signals
 processed. It would perhaps be even better if you could somehow pass a
 list of signals to disable, so you could selectively still have some
 signals processed.

 As it stands, the issue can be solved easily enough by creating a wrapper
 around manage.py that disabled the necessary signals and then called
 loaddata, but this feel clunky.

 As I have time, I will try to come up with a patch myself, if no one beats
 me to it. But I'm new to this kind of thing, so it may take me a little
 bit.
