I am not hijacking anything.  I am the one who filed this bug report.

And I proposed a simple fix for it from the outset - a minor correction of what 
Juri had already coded and along the lines of what has been done in the past.

You proposed a different fix.  Fine.  But you gave no reason - nothing about 
any problems with the more usual approach or any advantages of your new 
approach.

I asked about that.  I am interested in learning the advantages of your novel 
approach of (IIUC) advising a single hook function as a substitute for allowing 
for a sequence of hook functions.

I did not say that your solution is not a good one.  I assume the contrary, in 
fact.  I am asking to understand why you think it is a better one.  That's all.

Understanding this can help with other code as well, presumably.  Is there a 
reason why you do not want to share your understanding?
