Comment (by SmileyChris):
Here's a quick review the current situation:
* clean form fields
* clean model fields
* clean model
* clean form
The model is cleaned before the form so the model's clean method gets a
chance to fix fields before the form's validate_unique method is run.
This puts us into a cyclic problem in where we need to check the model
instance before actually being able to clean the form, which may alter the
form's cleaned_data. But we need the cleaned_data to accurately build the
instance. And we also aren't allowed to call model field's save_form_data
more than once (according to other tests).
