I'm thinking of using something like the code in isa_plugin() to

Why not just wrap all your queue plugins (using the inheritance) and
use the normal DECLINE/OK stuff?
Because I may want to have multiple inheritance (which Perl isn't known
for handling well). How can I say that my plugin isa(smtp-forward,
qmail-queue, qmail-qmqpc) and have control over which order hook_queue
is called in? I may also have multiple instances of smtp-forward,
depending on the recipient and a single e-mail might need to call
multiple queue methods.
I was planning on using the same sort of "create a new class from the
old class" methodology as isa_plugin() uses, just storing the resulting
plugin objects in a cache inside $self instead of making them first
class objects (i.e. I wouldn't tie them in using the regular hook stack).
