Reasons given elided, not addressed.

No reasons given.

Ever use an `apropos' command on variables whose names end in
`-hook'?  Do you expect to see only hook variables for that?

Ever use regexp-matching completion with `C-h v' for `-hook$'?
Do you expect to see only hook variables for that?

Is there an actual reason why you will not add a suffix (or
make another suitable name change) to indicate clearly that
this is not a hook variable?
