"_Slightly_ icky", because that file is supposed to be about coding systems
and internationalisms, at least so I presumed.  So coupling it to a concept
such as shorthands (which is defined after) is _slightly_ icky. But not
the end of the world.

No, fboundp also works, probably.  Do you prefer that to a hook?
A hook is, in theory, more powerful.
