Since the new hook will be called from explain_state.c, please declare
it in explain_state.h.
I think the header-file comment should be just one line rather than a
block comment as we do for other hooks in this area. If you think a
more detailed explanation is needed, I'd put that in the .c file.
Is there any value in passing "options" or "pstate" to the hook?
Couldn't the hook want to use "pstate" for error reporting purposes?
