I need it for inserting a row to my users table. I know, I need to
think it security-wise, but I really need to get that first user to
the table somehow. Also, I've seen a few projects that need some data
in the tables to work properly. One example would be a blog app which
would insert a "Welcome to your blog!" entry into the entrys table.

I could override _autoCreate but it isn't that convenient, checking
for that bool from the parent. Maybe a new method is what we need?
