Comment (by schinckel):
If you really feel the need to MonkeyPatch (and sometimes, it is
unavoidable), then just use `Model.add_to_class`.
You can even do this to modify contrib apps' models (for instance, I use
it to add a field to `Group`, so I can have a hierarchy of groups).
Just make sure you are very careful with your patching (ie, check to see
if the field/attribute/method already exists on the model class, for
instance). And be aware that you may break things.
