Proposal: retrieve cache key from model instance

[dirish]

Maybe add a getCacheKey() method to the Rememberable trait?

    /**
     * Get the unique cache key from the query builder.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getCacheKey()
    {
        return $this->newBaseQueryBuilder()->getCacheKey();
    }

Granted, a query builder instance would have to be instantiated for this method to return an effective value, but it was helpful in one of my projects.

Example:

$model = (new Model)->find(1);

\Cache::forget($model->getCacheKey());

Thanks for this, but I'm not sure adding it to the package would provide value to most developers. Seems like the sort of thing will be fine in a trait or base model in your own project.

Thanks for your feedback.
