I'm using AUCTeX from git, so LaTeX-provided-package-options is my
choice.

Right, but (IMHO) it is unlikely that both packages will be used in one
document and both provides similar functionality, in other words for
both user need a .el file.

I don't know Emacs Lisp well enough, so I tried following: I added
construction
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
(lambda () (nth 1 (split-string (nth 1 (assoc "isu-th3" 
LaTeX-provided-package-options)) "=")))
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
into function 'TeX-run-style-hooks' of my 'isu-th3.el' (that's the real
name of my package) and tried to run emacs on sample document. It fails
with message:

TeX-member: Wrong type argument: stringp, (lambda nil (nth 1 (split-string (nth 
1 (assoc "isu-th3" LaTeX-provided-package-options)) "=")))

As I understand from definition of 'TeX-run-style-hooks', the
function expects string not a function. Of course if I run the construction
in *scratch* (defining LaTeX-provided-package-options by hand) to test
it, all works fine.

Is it possible to 'evaluate' lambda function, so it returns the string and
that string will be used as hooks-name?
