Historical reasons I think. Early Emacs inspired a number of Guile extension points, and hooks are a thing there. (Hooks are not just a list of procedures -- they're a settable place as well and a way of running all of the procedures.) Anyway I agree, nothing to shout about, and probably something the manual should mention less prominently. Andy
