#39345: Request for hook after posts are completely updated via the rest API

 We have a post that has its title generated automatically using a
 concatenation of the title of a p2p connection and a meta value attached
 to the post.

 Prior to 4.7 (we were using 4.6+ the rest API plugin) we've been using a
 method hooked to both `wp_insert_post` (if the post was edited via the
 regular admin) and `rest_insert_$post_type` (if the post was edited via
 the API).

 We're now working on updating our code to work with 4.7, and our post
 titles are not being updated with new values any longer when they're
 edited via the rest api.

 Ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38905 moved
 `rest_insert_$post_type` to fire before the metadata is updated. There is
 no longer a hook that runs on the post after all of the post data ($post +
 all meta) is updated. We could hook into `updated_metadata` but that runs
 on every field and would be much more inefficient to use.

 Would it be possible to add an action or filter to the rest api posts
 controller that a post can be passed through after it's completely done
 being updated?
