    # Returns a String, which Action Pack uses for constructing an URL to this
    # object. The default implementation returns this record's id as a String,
    # or nil if this record's unsaved.
    #
    # For example, suppose that you have a User model, and that you have a
    # <tt>resources :users</tt> route. Normally, +user_path+ will
    # construct a path with the user object's 'id' in it:
    #
    #   user = User.find_by(name: 'Phusion')
    #   user_path(user)  # => "/users/1"
    #
    # You can override +to_param+ in your model to make +user_path+ construct
    # a path using the user's name instead of the user's id:
    #
    #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     def to_param  # overridden
    #       name
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    #   user = User.find_by(name: 'Phusion')
    #   user_path(user)  # => "/users/Phusion"
    def to_param
      # We can't use alias_method here, because method 'id' optimizes itself on the fly.
      id && id.to_s # Be sure to stringify the id for routes

    #   Person.find(5).cache_key  # => "people/5-20071224150000" (updated_at available)
    #
    # You can also pass a list of named timestamps, and the newest in the list will be
    # used to generate the key:
    #
    #   Person.find(5).cache_key(:updated_at, :last_reviewed_at)
