"""
11. Relating an object to itself, many-to-one

To define a many-to-one relationship between a model and itself, use
``ForeignKey('self')``.

In this example, a ``Category`` is related to itself. That is, each
``Category`` has a parent ``Category``.

Set ``related_name`` to designate what the reverse relationship is called.
