In the documentation of sending signals
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/signals/#sending-signals),
there is an example where the sender parameter is filled with `self` (an
instance), while most of the time, sender should be a class (at least it's
the case in Django's own source code).
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I suggest to replace `sender=self`
by `sender=self.__class__` in the example. And maybe specify that sender
is a class most of the time. I can do the change if someone confirms that
issue.
