  #   person.name_changed?  # => true
  #   person.name_was       # => 'Uncle Bob'

  #   person.name = '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

  # Resetting an attribute returns it to its original state:
  #   person.reset_name!    # => 'Bill'
  #   person.changed?       # => false
  #   person.name_changed?  # => false
  #   person.name           # => 'Bill'
  #
  # Before modifying an attribute in-place:
  #   person.name_will_change!
  #   person.name << 'y'
  #   person.name_change    # => ['Bill', 'Billy']
