Description

Naming a field 'clean' causes a rather cryptic message when adding a object through the admin interface. The error is "'NoneType' object is not callable".

Traceback:

In hindsight, it's obvious that calling a field clean, save or delete won't work as expected.

The docs could warn about such conflicts between field names and the model API: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/
