I edited out the details but here it is:

 eval: (c-add-style "StyleX" (quote ((c-basic-offset . 4) (c-offsets-alist 
(label . *) ...))) t)

Even if we provided a c-add-style: hook similar to c-file-style:
I couldn't just replace the eval: with it...

First, I'm not in control of those files, so I'm not in a position to
change those files, so I have to live with that `eval:'.

Secondly, even if I could change the eval:, that would disturbe other
developers which are still using older versions of emacs (some are
still using 20.7, and are not going to change any time soon).

Consequently, for me, it would be really nice if I could check for
this specific hook and just say it's ok.
