You should (as Robert said) identify the hooks you need, explain why
you need them, and if you think that he code could be restructured in
a way that would optimize this, write your ideas about it, and send
them to Kasper.

If it makes sense, which it sounds like to me, and is possible to make
in sensible way, I'm sure he'll try to solve it.

The class has XCLASS definitions in the bottom, so you can override
the parts of the class you want. This is not good for general
extensions of the system, but for local modification it is the
cleanest way, because you can have it in an extension.
