Hook *variables* are suffixed with "-hook" "-functions" or
"-function".
I don't know if this is a standard, but it looks like the use
of this convention is pretty consistent in Emacs Lisp.
Hook *functions* are sometimes suffixed with "-hook" too.
This sounds pretty natural first: "This function is meant to be
hooked into the corresponding hook variable" ... but I find this
confusing while reading the code. When we say "a hook", for me
this is short for saying "a hook variable", so a hook function
is not a hook in this sense...
(Still with me?)
My question is: is there a naming convention for naming hook
functions?
I'm fine if there is none, but I'm curious about what other
devs do.
