Toggleable BooleanColumn

Wouldn't it be great, to change the value of a boolean column (for example a status) without leaving the table view? There is already a build in solution for it in filament:

Tables\Columns\BooleanColumn::make('status')
    ->action(function($record, $column) {
        $name = $column->getName();
        $record->update([
            $name => !$record->$name
        ]);
    });

Result:

You can make this even reusable, by adding it as a macro to the BooleanColumn. In your AppServiceProvider, add this to your boot method:

Filament::serving(function(){
    \Filament\Tables\Columns\BooleanColumn::macro('toggle', function() {
        $this->action(function($record, $column) {
            $name = $column->getName();
            $record->update([
                $name => !$record->$name
            ]);
        });
        return $this;
    });
});

and now you can make BooleanColumn's with a single method clickable:

Tables\Columns\BooleanColumn::make('status')
    ->toggle();

still works, you just have to create the macro on IconColumn since BooleanColumn is now deprecated. And then use it like so

IconColumn::make('active')
    ->boolean()
    ->toggle(),

Can this be applied also to pivot relations as it does nothing when this is a pivot relation?
