No.

I saw a hack you sent me a few months ago and approved of it's
intent and was saddened by it's necessity.

Actually, I wanted to solve this problem for some time. 
I was afraid I'd have to implement some grand unified
arbitrarily chainable attr hook manager. :)

The other night, I thought I wanted to use attr hooks 
for the database mounting experiments I've been doing. 
While thinking about it, I realized that there was 
a simple solution.

I actually ended up not using the new attr support for database
mounting. :)
