### PolymorphicModel
class PolymorphicModel(models.Model):
"""
Abstract base class that provides polymorphic behaviour
for any model directly or indirectly derived from it.
For usage instructions & examples please see documentation.
PolymorphicModel declares one field for internal use (polymorphic_ctype)
and provides a polymorphic manager as the default manager
(and as 'objects').
PolymorphicModel overrides the save() and __init__ methods.
If your derived class overrides any of these methods as well, then you need
to take care that you correctly call the method of the superclass, like:
super(YourClass,self).save(*args,**kwargs)

We monkey patch them until a patch can be added to Django

If we have inheritance of the form ModelA -> ModelB ->ModelC then
Django creates accessors like this:
- ModelA: modelb
- ModelB: modela_ptr, modelb, modelc
- ModelC: modela_ptr, modelb, modelb_ptr, modelc
These accessors allow Django (and everyone else) to travel up and down
the inheritance tree for the db object at hand.
The original Django accessors use our polymorphic manager.
But they should not. So we replace them with our own accessors that use
our appropriate base_objects manager.
