New default: the template digest is automatically included in your ETags.
When you call fresh_when @post, the digest for posts/show.html.erb
is mixed in so future changes to the HTML will blow HTTP caches for you.
This makes it easy to HTTP-cache many more of your actions.

If you render a different template, you can now pass the :template
option to include its digest instead:

  fresh_when @post, template: 'widgets/show'

Pass template: false to skip the lookup. To turn this off entirely, set:

  config.action_controller.etag_with_template_digest = false

Looks good to me 👍

class_attribute :etag_with_template_digest
self.etag_with_template_digest = true

ActiveSupport.on_load :action_view, yield: true do |action_view_base|

No need for the block arg?

Yeah - included it to make it clear that we aren't using the instance_eval form of on_load. We're being called like a normal block.
