callback

Right now I cant find a way to generate a callback between lines 1 and 2 here:

f = Foo.new
f.some_call
f.save!

Is there any way to simulate what would be effectively an after_new callback? Right now I'm using after_initialize but there are potential performance problems with using that since it fires for a lot of different events.
