Thanks for the detailed reply. See below for some comments

It could, if you just add a hook that would prepend some code to the loader.

I am using latest version (1.0.1) so I will use the unified one

I see what you mean. I really needed to prepend to the loader so I just
modified the template and added my code to it. I will have to update it
everytime I update Qx, but I guess it is OK.
