Not sure what the convention is, but `hook' is indexed, whereas `hooks'
is not.  But `buffer-locak hooks' is indexed and `buffer-local hook' is
not.  We should be consistent, at least.

And in the Elisp manual, it is `hooks' and not `hook' that is
indexed, i.e., the opposite of the Emacs manual.

I don't think it matters.  Closing.

There is a systematic naming convention in use here.
Names ending in -hook are normal hooks.
Names ending in -hooks are not normal hooks.
