Historically - Tom wrote this up when hook-as-makefile came together as
a concept, and used it for email notifications as the first use, IIRC.
That said, there is a very good reason to have such things in tla...
We've got some important layers to consider with every user-impacting
choice:
a --- custom UI's - fai, xtla, etc etc
b --- the tla UI | the tla engine-for-custom-UI's
c --- the semantics
If we put the onus for executing such hooks solely between a and b, then
one of 3 things is likely to occur:
- every custom UI will either have a different means of specifying
their policy,
- or will have the same means but no common implementation
- or a libtlacustomui will be built - and isn't this what the tla engine
for custom-ui's in b is ?!
