sweet...this is starting to sound like elisp's defadvice, which is
very cool.  For example:

;; prevent accidentally replying to a newsgroup article
(defadvice gnus-summary-reply (around reply-in-news activate)
  "Prompts before allowing a reply to a Usenet article."
  (interactive)
  (if (or (not (gnus-news-group-p gnus-newsgroup-name))  ; short-circuit
          (y-or-n-p "Really reply by mail to article author? "))
      ad-do-it
    (message "Reply aborted.")))
