Nothing says just because you set the hook that way
you cannot before you do that examine what is in the
hook and function by function find out what they are
and if you like them to be there.

Usually there isn't much so it isn't a lot work
either, and besides it is a limited but nonetheless
good way to examine the system.

Again, what's stopping me adding those functions as
well (with setq), if I like them?
