(synopsis "Hooks extension point mechanism (as in Emacs) for Common Lisp")
(description "A hook, in the present context, is a certain kind of
extension point in a program that allows interleaving the execution of
arbitrary code with the execution of a the program without introducing any
coupling between the two. Hooks are used extensively in the extensible editor
Emacs.
In the Common LISP Object System (CLOS), a similar kind of extensibility is
possible using the flexible multi-method dispatch mechanism. It may even seem
that the concept of hooks does not provide any benefits over the possibilites
of CLOS. However, there are some differences:
@itemize
@item There can be only one method for each combination of specializers and
qualifiers. As a result this kind of extension point cannot be used by
multiple extensions independently.
@item Removing code previously attached via a @code{:before}, @code{:after} or
@code{:around} method can be cumbersome.
@item There could be other or even multiple extension points besides @code{:before}
and @code{:after} in a single method.
@item Attaching codes to individual objects using eql specializers can be
cumbersome.
@item Introspection of code attached a particular extension point is
cumbersome since this requires enumerating and inspecting the methods of a
generic function.
@end itemize
This library tries to complement some of these weaknesses of method-based
extension-points via the concept of hooks.")
