django.forms.models.py rows 654-667

we have a three methods:


{{{
def save_new(self, form, commit=True):
"""Save and return a new model instance for the given form."""
return form.save(commit=commit)

def save_existing(self, form, instance, commit=True):
"""Save and return an existing model instance for the given
form."""
return form.save(commit=commit)

def delete_existing(self, obj, commit=True):
"""Deletes an existing model instance."""
if commit:
obj.delete()
}}}

in **delete_existing** we have an "''obj''"
in **save_existing** we have an "''instance''"
why it is so? where the difference?

For **ModelFormset** in admin Inline we have also other instance: parent
object. I can expected this "instance (parent)" instead of current
"object".

My opinion attribute name "''instance''" in **save_existing** should be
changed on "''obj''"
