Phillip, Of Robert Hooke's features, I think the ability to suppress advice temporarily (its `with-hooks-disabled`) as well to advise a function within a particular dynamic scope (`with-scope`) are most relevant to Richelieu. Since one of the major goals of Richelieu is to serve as a generic basis for advising, I'll probably implement a `with-advice-disabled` form that takes a sequence of advisedf-and-advicef-set values to temporarily suppress.
R.H. and Richelieu, while they do much the same thing, seem to be orthogonal to each other in terms of intent: Richelieu exists to allow folks to write arbitrary advice-based facilities that are oblivious to each others' existences, decorating functions that weren't written with being advised in mind—think tracing and profiling. Phil, on the other hand, focused on providing a facility for developers who anticipate that their code might be advised à la the Emacs hooks mechanism. Or not. I'm totally speculating. As for the name, I guess I'm willing to overlook some semantic quibbles—especially since something very similar to Emacs's normal hooks could easily built atop R.H.—in pursuit of a charming allusion.
