       Works in conjunction with InflateColumn::DateTime to automatically set update and create date and time
       based fields in a table.

get_timestamp
       Returns a DateTime object pointing to now.  Override this method if you have different time accounting
       functions, or want to do anything special.

       The date and time objects in the database are expected to be inflated.  As such you can be pretty
       flexible with what you want to return here.

        package My::Schema;

        __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( TimeStamp ... Core ));

        __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
           id => { data_type => 'integer' },
           t_created => { data_type => 'datetime', set_on_create => 1 },
           t_updated => { data_type => 'datetime',
               set_on_create => 1, set_on_update => 1 },
        );

       Now, any update or create actions will update the specified columns with the current time, using the
       DateTime inflator.

       This is effectively trigger emulation to get consistent behavior across databases that either implement
       them poorly or not at all.
