HasTimestamps
=================

Lets you timestamp models, like if you want to fake a CRM.

Note: it doesn't save objects automatically, so you have to run a "user.save" (etc.) when you're done timestamping.

Example
=======

class CreateTimestamps < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table(:timestamps) do |t|
      t.integer   :timestampable_id
      t.string    :timestampable_type
      t.string    :key
      t.datetime  :stamped_at
      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table(:timestamps)
  end
end

then...

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_timestamps
end

>> user.timestamps
=> []
>> user.timestamp!(:hailed)
=> Wed Dec 10 15:11:52 -0500 2008
>> user.timestamps
=> [#<Timestamp id: nil, timestampable_id: 14, timestampable_type: "User", key: "hailed", stamped_at: "2008-12-10 
15:11:52", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>]
>> user.timestamped?(:hailed)
=> true
>> user.save
=> true
>> user.timestamped?(:saluted)
=> false
>> user.timestamp!(:saluted)
=> Wed Dec 10 15:12:28 -0500 2008
>> user.timestamped?(:saluted)
=> true
>> user.timestamps[:saluted]
=> Wed Dec 10 15:12:28 -0500 2008
>> user.timestamps[:hailed]
=> Wed Dec 10 15:11:52 -0500 2008
