[wp-hackers] Custom Permalink Rewrite Rules

[Matt Slocum]

Thanks Peter,
I've never used that hook. In this unique case I think I'll stick with
wp_loaded because if my test matches I'm going to stop the normal WordPress
execution, and I don't need all the admin_bar and style execution. I'm glad
to see the template_redirect because I might incorporate that too in a
different area.
