Exactly. That is one reason why Django needs metaclasses all over the place. Because fields just don't know their name.
This is especially true for forms as django does not magic there. It always causes headaches if you need it.

As an alternative suggestion, maybe there could be a `get_assignment_target` function which returns either a string, or `None`. No new syntax required at all, but it comes across to me as completely hacky.
