> But -functions variables are abnormal hooks.

Yes.

> -function variables aren't hooks at all.

No, that's not correct.  Some are and some aren't.

You can't tell by a variable's name whether it's a
hook.  Convention can tell you, but unfortunately the
name `*-function' does _not_ tell you.  See my other
posts today about this.
