Is there a clean way to update a record only if it is different than
the proposed changes?

For example, I have a person in the table 'person' whose name is
'Pete'. To update his name:

desired_id = 5
db(db.person.id == desired_id).update(name='Pete')

Update is executed, even though his name did not change. What's the
cleanest way to not do the update if the record's fields have not
changed?

Thanks,
Matthew
