8. get_latest_by
Models can have a ``get_latest_by`` attribute, which should be set to the name
of a DateField or DateTimeField. If ``get_latest_by`` exists, the model's
module will get a ``get_latest()`` function, which will return the latest
object in the database according to that field. "Latest" means "having the
date farthest into the future."
