In this case hooks might not be helped and even hooks are not always 
necessary.

The main point is just
that it is reasonable to avoid unnecessary XCLASS-implementations.
In some cases local versions of some functions makes the task.

Then there are at lest three alternavites to choose

1) XCLASS

2) Hooks

3) Local versions of functions.

The main point is that try to use the most reasonable alternative - and 
not automatic use some habit.
