Hello Ian,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU Savannah.

Few other emacs-related projects on savannah use the "-el" suffix in the project's name, e.g.:
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/nethack-el
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/oddmuse-el
  https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/cfs-el

Would you like to use the project's name as "hook-helpers-el" or keep it as "hook-helpers" ?
(this will affect the project's URL, git repo name, etc.).

regards,
 - assaf

Description:

Functions and macros to help with handling hooks in Emacs.

Written in Emacs lisp, Hook Helpers is a collection of functions and macros that make it easier and cleaner to work with hooks in Emacs initialization files.

Often times, I see people define a function to be used once in a hook.  If they don't do this, then it will be an anonymous function.  If the anonymous function is modified, then the function can't be removed.  With a function outside of the `add-hook' call, it looks messy.

The `define-hook-helper' macro is a solution to this.  Think of it as an anaphoric `add-hook', but one that can be called many times without risking redundant hook functions.  It gives a cleaner look and feel to Emacs configuration files, and could even be used in actual libraries.

In addition to this, `define-mode-hook-helper' is provided especially for use with mode hooks.
