Your lambda will also keep lying around.  The name "dired-load-hook"
will keep lying around.

And: for most of the hooks you want to add stuff to you probably can't
be sure that it won't be run more than once.  Undefining cries for
errors.  It's also not necessary, those few additional names hardly make
a difference.


Michael.
