 that bulk edit is processed by a loop that hits `wp_insert_post()` so
 actually the ability to save bulk edit details doesn't require ajax at all
 and can run on the exact same `save_post` routine that quick edit and meta
 boxes already use.

 I might be wrong, but I think the issue if that there is no way to
 determine the context of the process (in this case: running a bulk edit
 process).
