While "before-hook" may not be perfect, it has the very definitive
advantage of matching the existing "after-hook", so we should go
with that.

If/when we find a better naming scheme for those two, we can consider
renaming them, but that itself comes with non-negligible disadvantages,
so we're probably better off living with the existing "suboptimal" names.

More important would be to make sure that the new semantics covers most
of the existing needs.
