In the non-CVS case, the check immediately +returns success, so the added overhead is just a function call. + +Given how rarely anything should need to reach in and modify the +wrapper -- I'd go so far as to say we shouldn't make it too easy +-- I don't think it's worth the effort to try and design a more +general-purpose way to do so. If and when some other problem thinks +it wants to be solved by a new wrapper hook, it's easy enough to add +one. Until then, I'd say it's more important to keep the wrapper as +short and clear as possible. --[[schmonz]] -- cgit v1.2.3
