I guess that once again the adventurous can modify the lua hook themselves.

That said I'm working my brain pretty hard to see what harm merging this
behavior into the default lua hook would be. Now _MTN is used (i.e. an
oddball name) I can't think of one.

Also I guess it works both ways, the adventurous, or just plain weird,
can change it back.
