/// This trait provides access and setting functionality for the creation
/// time of domain objects, used to record the timestamp when an object
/// was first created.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};
/// use qubit_mixin::Creatable;
///
/// struct Article {
///     title: String,
///     create_time: DateTime<Utc>,
/// }
///
/// impl Creatable for Article {
///     fn create_time(&self) -> DateTime<Utc> {
///         self.create_time
///     }
///
///     fn set_create_time(&mut self, time: DateTime<Utc>) {
///         self.create_time = time;
///     }
/// }
///
/// let now = Utc::now();
/// let mut article = Article {
///     title: "Hello".to_string(),
///     create_time: now,
///  };
/// assert_eq!(article.create_time(), now);
/// ```
///
