It could be a matter of responsibility and security.  The _F_hook setup
may protect the consistency of data that cannot be accessed directly by
the inheritor, or that could even be messed up by a maliciously-written
inheritor.

When the responsibility lies with the inheritor, let the inheritor do
the checking.
