Description
I think the m2m_changed signal would benefit from a raw flag similar to the pre_save and post_save signals. I've got some signals called on M2M change which die when called during fixture loading. At present the only way I can see to do this is to hook into the pre_save and cache that I'm in fixture-loading mode... Pretty nasty!

That does work, but it's a pretty unpleasant solution. I'd like to know the design decision behind that option existing on models but not M2M - consistent design seems more suitable to me than stack inspection hacks.
