The other day I was talking with NASA about adding a hook to $user->can_see_bug. The problem is that can_see_bug is called all the time, and needs to be fast, and hooks do a lot of filesystem work every time you call them! I think it might be better to initialize all hooks and store them as coderefs--calling coderefs is pretty fast, but reading files off the system isn't.
I want to morph this into a general "redesign the plugin system" bug. I have some thoughts on requirements and a design, which I'm working on.
