      #   ActiveRecord::Base.no_touching do
      #     Project.first.touch  # does nothing
      #     Message.first.touch  # does nothing
      #   end

      #   Project.no_touching do
      #     Project.first.touch  # does nothing
      #     Message.first.touch  # works, but does not touch the associated project
      #   end
