# Track unsaved attribute changes.
#
# A newly instantiated object is unchanged:
# person = Person.find_by_name('uncle bob')
# person.changed? # => false
#
# Change the name:
# person.name = 'Bob'
# person.changed? # => true
# person.name_changed? # => true
# person.name_was # => 'uncle bob'
# person.name_change # => ['uncle bob', 'Bob']
# person.name = 'Bill'
# person.name_change # => ['uncle bob', 'Bill']
#
# Save the changes:
# person.save
# person.changed? # => false
# person.name_changed? # => false
#
# Assigning the same value leaves the attribute unchanged:
# person.name = 'Bill'
# person.name_changed? # => false
# person.name_change # => nil
#
# Which attributes have changed?
# person.name = 'bob'
# person.changed # => ['name']
# person.changes # => { 'name' => ['Bill', 'bob'] }
#
# Before modifying an attribute in-place:
# person.name_will_change!
# person.name << 'by'
# person.name_change # => ['uncle bob', 'uncle bobby']
