Good idea to overwrite the method in a module that introduces the hooks
but does not change anything functional!

To preserve any existing inheritance, you could in such a module replace
the original method with the refactored version by applying it as a
monkeypatch in _register_hook. While it will still affect all databases
on the instance once the module is installed, it will not be preloaded
if the module is only in the module path and not installed on any
database. That trick is courtesy of Holger Brunn, BTW.
