The use case is to know if current instance of the model was created, we pass model instance to many services which sometimes need to run additional actions if new record is just created, we can't have in after_create callback because model doesn't know about the services also sometimes it's too early to call it from a model callback because other information might be needed.
Named `just_created?` because it's an indicator that `after_create` callback was called for that instance. Agree `save.save` is a bummer going to fix it.
