Comment:

 After reviewing the state of this function within `post.php`, I don't
 think there's a need for a new action here as the existing actions already
 provide enough to check what the post type is.

 In all honesty though, if this was added, I wouldn't have a problem but if
 you want to trigger an action when a Book (example custom post type) is
 updated, you could always do something to the effect of:


 {{{
 add_action( 'edit_post', 'my_edit_action', 10, 2 );

 function my_edit_action( $post_id, $post ) {

     if ( 'book' == $post->post_type ) {

         // do something now...

     }

 }
 }}}

 Also, the `save_post` and `save_post_{$post->post_type}` hooks are called
 irrespective of whether it's a post being saved or updated so they should
 both be able to be used here without issues.

 I'll recommend closing this, although feel free to reverse that.
