Comment:

 Thanks for the thoughtful response, @jpdavoutian. I have similar thoughts
 about the limitations of the approaches used by plugins like the one I
 linked to.

 A filter like the one you've suggested seems appropriate to me, though
 you're right that there will probably be some auxiliary issues caused by
 skipping the MySQL query. When it's in a workable state, would you mind
 sharing your modifications so that we can have a closer look at the
 approach?
