Well, it's really wrapping bless rather than doing anything different in the core. I just need an extra action when someone blesses an object. My initial view was to register separate, then I thought about being "helpful" with bless, then I began to cringe and wonder -- thus this post. Early gut reactions do seem to suggest that overriding bless is just a bit too clever.
