Comment (by akaariai):

 Now I know what bothers me about the self.settings_dict. From the code you
 get a feeling the settings_dict is instance level, or class level at most.
 However, you are really modifying the settings.py `DATABASES['alias']`
 dictionary. That makes it pretty easy to do accidental global changes if
 you start changing the self.settings_dict.

 Anyhow, the above isn't this ticket's problem. And I don't know if
 "fixing" the above is worth more than a comment anyways.

 I often hope the django.db.backends and especially the
 django.db.models.sql would have good README files explaining what is
 happening and why. I guess these would get accepted assuming somebody were
 to write the files...
