And as far as I can tell that applies to hooks too, true?

This is actually a but sneaky - it should not be a problem for
Intel::extend_match that Jan mentioned earlier because it is unlikely that
someone will just assign a new value to info. But if someone does it will
fail.

Which, after thinking about it for a few moments seems like the right
choice in any case. :)
