Yes, it works if the outside still calls the old ones, i.e. having a 
fallback in Storage.pm's wrapper would make the above work. Then it'd be 
Storage.pm get_volume_attribute calls $plugin->get_volume_notes calls 
$plugin->get_volume_attribute, with the last call happening if the 
Plugin is recent enough to have implemented the fallback.
