Comment (by rmccue):

 I thought these were ''also'' inconsistent, but as it turns out, I think
 r39288 helped make them consistent, although in the process we lost a
 crucial ability. We should introduce common hooks across all of these for
 a final action:

 * `rest_insert_attachment` is after attachment creation/update, but before
 meta + additional fields
 * `rest_insert_comment` is after comment creation/update, but before meta
 + additional fields
 * `rest_insert_{post}` is after post creation/update, but before meta +
 additional fields + sticky + terms + featured media (`{post}` is the post
 type).
 * `rest_insert_{term}` is after term creation/update, but before meta +
 additional fields (`{term}` is the taxonomy)
 * `rest_insert_user` is after user creation/update, but before roles +
 meta + additional fields

 These actions are still useful if you want to do something when the object
 is updated, but not as useful as they could be.

 I'm thinking a `rest_did_insert_{type}` for all of these across the board,
 called with the same parameters, but fired at the end of the relevant
 method rather than after the object change.
