The shortcut already exists, it's called save().

One exists as a patch_. I've been using it with the current svn for a
while without problems. I find that an update_or_create() shortcut is
particularly helpful working with newforms and use it in quite a few
places. The patch gets pinged every so often [1]_; it will likely make
it into trunk eventually.
