As far as I can read between the lines, you want to modify some data
when an EC is saving changes, right?

  Could you be more explicit about what you'd like to do? There are
  numerous use-cases for such things, most of which have major drawbacks
  (and that's why it's considered contentious within ORMs, mainly). I'd
  prefer to discuss a particular use-case rather than discourse on
  generic cases that probably won't match your case ;)
