[TYPO3-mvc] MM on self using IRRE

I don't have any problems with IRRE eitherway - at least none that I 
know of. I only know that IRRE itself didn't work correctly for quite 
some time using a MM table - but I think that was fixed in 4.4.x.

why would you bind related posts to some other post using IRRE? Is there 
the need to directly edit the related posts? If not, just use a simple 
select/MM relation and you're fine. But IIRC I didn't have any issues 
with IRRE and relations to the same table so far, but that could be 
related to my local changes to Extbase for group support (I really need 
to clean that up and push it to gerrit *note to myself*).
