I think I've outlined how the core would be extended so that either of the
above implementation approaches could work.

Just for the record, as long as it's done in a modular way (i.e. so that
people who don't want Postorius can ignore it), I have no problem shipping
well tested components that make integrating the core with Postorius easier.
It just can't be the only way to do it.
