Description (last modified by Adrian Holovaty)

I create two m2mfields which reference to the same class, such as this:

class Name(Model):
    name = CharField (maxlength=50)
    def __repr__(self):
        return self.name

class People(Model):
    first_name = ManyToManyField (Name)
    last_name = ManyToManyField (Name)

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.first_name

I get two tables in DB:
app_peoples_first_name and app_peoples_last_name

And i also get three apis:
set_first_name, set_last_name and get_name_list

while i think there should be two gets here: get_first_name_list and
get_last_name_list.
