Automatically set the created and updated date with squeryl?

Question

I remember seeing a trait that will automatically add the created and updated dates when using either lift's Record or Mapper ORMs.

The question is, is there a similar thing for Squeryl to automatically set the date/time the record was inserted and, less importantly, the last date/time it was updated?

If not, is it possible to make one?

There is no existing trait you can mix in to do it, but if you are using 0.9.5-SNAPSHOT you can create your own using Squeryl's lifecycle callbacks.
