Heh, I didn't request anything.  I just gave an observation or two,
and all the rest happened in your head ;-).

I do find that the new run_hooks() that takes a single hook name
makes the resulting callers much cleaner and simpler to follow.
No callers have to call find_hook() before run_hooks() anymore,
which looks good.

The new _l() variant, not so much contributing to the clarity,
unfortunately.
