Sets a `creator_id` and `modifier_id` on records during save using the logged in User.id field. Operates almost identically to the core's [Timestamp behavior](http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/behaviors/timestamp.html).

			'user_who_created_me_id' => 'new',

			// Field storing the User.id who modified the record,
			// always triggers on beforeSave.
