SugarCRM Persons and Activities Save Too Early Hack Fix

// this fucking hack!
$request = $_REQUEST;
unset($_REQUEST);
$new_contact->save();
$_REQUEST = $request;

/* getting to a point that whenever I have a before_save logic hook related to Contacts or Leads and it involves setting up calls, legacy code takes its meaning from $_REQUEST vars, especially with email addresses but with overall saving functionality also. Suspending the $_REQUEST and letting $object->save() do the real work just fixes it. But damn this is silly

Same principle applies to using Contact logic hooks to update parent/related accounts.
