      Autosave works great when using reference associations, but it does not appear to work through an embedded document:

      class Post
  embeds_many :comments
  belongs_to :user, autosave: true
end

class Comment
  embedded_in :post
  belongs_to :user, autosave: true
end

class User
end

comment = Comment.new(user: User.new)
post = Post.new(user: User.new)
post.comments << comment
post.save
post.user.persisted? # => true
comment.user.persisted? # => false :(

      Right now, I've solved this with a before_save callback on the Post model, but it makes me sad:

      class Post
  before_save { comments.map(&:user).select(&:new_record?).each(&:save) }
end
