You can fairly easily do it using the instance_hooks plugin. For an example, see how the nested_attributes plugin uses instance_hooks. Basically, Sequel provides you the tools to easily do it yourself if you need to. It's possible we could add another plugin that makes it even easier, by making add_* automatically delay if the receiver hasn't been saved. I'm open to that if people think it would be helpful. But it's not something we could do by default without merging instance_hooks into the base model plugin.
