Hmm, do we really need to explain that variables can be changed with
setq (seems redundant)? Though it might be useful to compare and
contrast setq vs add-function (and maybe setq vs add-hook too?)
Also wondering if add-function needs a bit of "rebranding", since I see
it keeps getting referred to as "advice" (i.e., something to be
avoided).
