[patch] ManyToMany not working in Manipulators when the form control isn't of the same style as the control in the admin

ManyToMany not working in Manipulators when the form control isn't of the same style as the control in the admin

For instance, if raw_id_admin=True, the admin will show an editbox, but if you use a select-multiple in your app, manipulator.save() will only save the first selected item.

A patch has been submitted.

I'm very much unclear on what this does (the patch doesn't seem to have any explanation of what it's doing). I'm also worried by the bare except clause in there, and by the monkeying with type-checking.

Finally (and this why I'm marking WONTFIX), this is easy enough to work around at the manipulator level. The automatic manipulators do (and should) take into account admin options, so if you want to use a public view differently, write a different manipulator.
