The docstring is not really correct as remove-hook also removes the
buffer-local binding again:
...
(if (equal hook-value '(t))
(kill-local-variable hook)
...

And you still have the mechanism where t in the buffer-local value of
a hook is substituted by the functions in the global value?

I probably haven't developed a good intuition for these kind of speed
things yet. :-(
