Hey,

I've got a following scenario: Reply has_many :venues, :through
=> :venue_suggestions. When user answers to a question he can add
venues to it as suggestions. The problem is that these venues
(actually their IDs) are added to the reply form, before the reply is
created. Wnever a venue is added or removed from a reply, I'd like to
call a function that updates a score of the added venue.

And here's the problem:

- I can't use after_add/after_remove callbacks in Reply model, because
after_add is called before the reply is actually saved and the
associations are not built yet

- I can't use after_create/after_destroy callbacks in VenueSuggestion,
because after_destroy callback is never called. Looking at the code in
Rails 2.3.8 branch it seems that doing something like this:
reply.venue_ids = []
calls delete_all, which doesn't call any callbacks. In Rails 3 it
works in the same way.

So I guess I'm left with after_create and after_remove callbacks in 2
models... Does anyone have any idea how these callbacks should
actually work in has_many :through association?
