Did you mean for #2: when/where to add the function
to the hook?  Or did you mean use a watcher instead
of #3, a toggle command?

Assuming you meant #2:

Also possible.  Seems a bit overkill to me, though.

This is what :set is for, for options.  A variable
watcher can do anything, not just for an option,
and not just when the var is set.
