Proposing change to allow modules to specify weight(s) per hook

I'm sure this issue has been discussed before. Here's one link I found regarding it: http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/control-drupal-hooks-running-.... I actually see two features that would be nice here:

1) What the article discusses, which is allowing a module to be able to have a low weight for some hooks and a high weight for other hooks.

2) To allow a module to have its hook implementation invoked multiple times, at different weights, similar to what in other languages can be accomplished with "around" methods -- being able to do part of the processing before other modules and the remainder of the processing after other modules.

My proposed solution for this is for modules to be able to specify a hook_weights variable in the module's .info file. For example, some custom module could have the following in the .info file:

hook_weights[init][] = -10
hook_weights[nodeapi][] = -10
hook_weights[nodeapi][] = 10

This would give the module an effective weight of -10 for the init hook, effective weights of -10 and 10 for the nodeapi hook (meaning it would get called twice for each nodeapi invocation), and use the module's weight for all other hooks.

Right after submitting this issue, I'll post a patch for it (I want to include the issue number in the patch filename). I hope this is able to make it into Drupal 6 before development on 6 gets locked down.
