Hi Core List,

Sometimes I'm required to keep track of whether an activerecord object  
was succesfully saved.

A case in point would be doing something in an after_filter of a  
controller.  For example, I might want to keep track of how many times  
users post invalid active records.

One way of doing this would be to use #valid?, but this will hit the  
database again in some cases (e.g. if there's a  
validates_uniqueness_of), which I want to avoid.

I'm proposing a very simple API, as described here http://www.pastie.org/268045 
.
To make this work is also very simple (here's a plugin verision 
http://pastie.org/268046) 
.

Before I bundle this up into a patch with tests, I'm wondering if  
people think this is a good or bad idea?

Cheers,
Ian
