I have an app that allows callers to subscribe to a `post_save_changed`
signal on particular fields, when those fields have changed.
It works by recording values in the `post_init` signal, then checking
their values in the `post_save` signal, and then triggering its own
`post_save_changed` signal if the values are different.
The problem is that currently there's no way this can detect someone
calling `Model.refresh_from_db()`. If I could detect that, I would
overwrite the stored values from `post_init` with some new values.
Otherwise my app may detect 'changes' which have actually already been
applied to the database.
A `post_refresh_from_db` signal seems conspicuously absent. Or perhaps
`post_init` should be called again when `refresh_from_db` is called? That
would also solve my problem.
