Possibility of adding restoreOrCreate

[aeadedoyin]

This will save some effort having to:

// Retrieve the model by its primary key
$model = Model::withTrashed()->find($id);

// If the model was found and deleted, restore it
if ($model && $model->trashed()) {
    $model->restore();
} else {
    // Otherwise, create.
    $model->create($attributes);
}

if we would going to this, I suggest an upsert method. one that clears the deleted_at column on update or just inserts a new record.
