What is it you want to do in beforeSave? At the moment I'm not sure why
beforeSave and createData/setData are separate, or why a developer would
use beforeSave instead of simply overriding createData/setData. I would be
just as sceptical about afterSave, except that up until recently it was the
closest thing FarCry had to a COAPI event.
