Comment (by Simon Charette):

 Coupling the database layer with the template one looks like a really bad
 idea to me.

 What if you want to use the template layer without configuring a database?
 What if your template ends up taking a lot of time to render and keeps a
 transaction open the whole time?

 While the `alters_data` approach is not perfect I think that it offers a
 good enough solution paired with a convention of naming functions and
 methods appropriately.

 Now a small things that could be done to improve the situation could be to
 either automatically mark overridden `save()`/`delete()` methods as
 `alters_data = True` in `ModelBase.__new__` or have system checks to warn
 developers about this edge case.
