Out of curiosity: I'm a big fan of KISS approaches all the way, and I 
would regard relying on a name convention as KISS enough, but... err well, 
perhaps even TOO simple, to the point of being error prone. How does it 
work? Is there a sybol table or so that gets scanned for functions having 
names ending in "_hook"? Wouldn't it be more reliable to have, say, a 
register_hook_for_mode() function instead, at the expense of some more 
verbosity. Please feel free to laugh at me if all this is too naive...
