Comment (by mensmaximus):

 Replying to [comment:18 mensmaximus]:
 > Imho such a hook is not necessary at all because there are three action
 hooks available to further manipulate a post after it got updated:
 `edit_post_{$post->post_type}`, `edit_post` and `post_updated`

 I did some testing and found none of these action hooks can be utilized to
 save custom data from bulk edit because `$_POST` is empty if
 `wp_insert_post()` gets invoked by `bulk_edit_posts()`.

 To save custom data from bulk edit you can use the action hook
 `wp_insert_post_data`. It passes `$postarr` as second argument containing
 all values from `$_POST`.
