Even just having a list of available hooks would be a nice improvement though :)
But maybe it's something that belongs better in a README file instead,
since as you say it's unlikely to be properly useful without looking
at the source anyway. But just a list of hooks and a *very* high
overview of where each of them hooks in would definitely be useful to
have somewhere, I think. Having to find with "grep" whether there may
or may not exist a hook for approximately what it is you're looking
for is definitely a process to improve on.
