IT IS NOT A SMALL DRAWBACK. It is a huge one really. Especially when a new
developer is trying to write a backend, they can't figure out if it was a
target hook or a target macro one is. The return type is only part is not
described anywhere to say it is the difference either. Epsecially when reading
each of these sections seperately.

I only noticed this because I am going to try to improve the documentation on
some of these and this caught my eye and made me even more confused (I looked
at the new documentation first and I was wait isn't one a target hook and then
I had to go look at the previous texinfo documentation to see that was true).
