Comment:
Generally Django does not attempt anything to warn you of inconsistencies
between your models and your database.
Even something as gross as replacing a !TextField by an !IntegerField will
only result in exceptions at runtime, possibly in unexpected places.
It is hard to debug, but I think it is a consequence of (1) Python's type
handling and (2) Django's choice not to use database introspection.
Solving this problem would require some database introspection. I think
the core devs will reject the idea, but you can always bring it on django-
developers to be sure.
