Adding Hooks!!
What's the general thought on adding or modifying hooks? I'm looking at 1.1 and all the code edit mods I have to update and hoping new hooks would make it easier but not finding them. First example I'm looking at right now is I add additional info in the function loadExistingMember which is called from action_login2. Sure, I could hook onto the end of login2 except I actually check that information to make a yes/no decision on the login and doLogin would already be called.
So a last hook before doLogin that would allow me to set a failure variable checked before doLogin was called as well as set $context['login_errors'] would be nice.
A lot of the other changes are still in Post and all the is_allowed type stuff. I haven't checked, but have hooks been added to all those functions to modify their results?

Also we have the "generic" _before and _after hooks that get called via the dispatcher. You can always turn on debug and then see the list off all hooks that were called to create a page.

Yeah, the debugging functionality to see all hooks is really useful when writing mods.
