Include touch option on save

[rubenrails]

@netlogics recommended adding a touch option when saving a record. Example offered was:

if timestamps
  set_created_at
  set_updated_at unless options[:touch] == false

I don't like too many options on save... We want to have a skinny api

[netlogics]

Validate and touch are the only two I'm aware of.
I would propose a definition for skinny API to mean
Exclusive feature set with comprehensive implementation
By carefully adhering to a proposed standard we can maintain a skinny API with consistent and expected functionality. Skinny API doesn't mean less lines of code. It means defining and sticking to a core feature set. Conversely comprehensive implementation doesn't mean more lines of code. It means implementing the core feature set so it is complete and functions in a manner that is consistent with ruby's and rails' conventions.

Exactly... The implenenyation of timestamps IMO should be left to the App... So, leaving the handling of timestamps should be ob the timestamps method not con save

[netlogics]

I don't think it's necessary to strictly parallel rails implementation. Validate was essential for consistency imo but touch probably isn't.
