The
[[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through|documentation]]
says that the automatically created `through` attribute has fields named
`<containing_model>_id` and `<other_model>_id`.
That can't be true when it is a M2M to `self`, since `containing_model`
and `other_model` are the same. A quick test shows that the fields in that
case are named `from_<model>_id` and `to_<model>_id`. The documentation
should cover this case.
