Any You want to go beyond just teasing, and tell us what "particular class"? ;-) >suggestions on what I might be missing here?

The imp module has a lot of info, and some example code that might be useful. I'm suspicious of the default values you provide in your noisy_import though. They are all mutable, though I guess nothing should mutate them. But will they be valid for all the contexts your hook will be invoked from? (Or are they actually useless and always overridden?)
