Yes, that'd be possible.  That seems roughly equivalent to using a
separate script, and you'd have to use separate logic (as the options
and such that you'd ordinarily use with dhcpinfo are separate), but
it's doable.

Is it actually an improvement?  It's not clear to me, but if others
prefer this over having a separate hook script, I guess I don't have
much of a preference myself.
