Comment(by nacin):

 A filter is a type of hook. (An action, such as template_redirect, is
 another type.)

 Every $template is run through a filter before being included.
 get_attachment_template uses get_query_template, which in turn invokes a
 filter. Having a filter to run through $template in template-loader.php
 would not allow for any context, hence why it's best to use the individual
 filters or utilize template_redirect, or utilize a combination of both.

 The various *_template filters include category_template,
 comments_popup_template,
 comments_template, home_template, page_template, tag_template,
 taxonomy_template, {$type}_template. You could tie the same function to
 all of them if you'd like.
