Ha! I read the other mail (the patch) first, and already suggested other
names.

I personally feel that a lot of other hooks should have both
start/finish hooks (i.e. when changing ports, it would be nice to save
the volume of the current port for example, but to do that we'd need a
hook fired prior to the port change), so I don't think this general
concept is a bad idea (the volume save on port change thing might have
been a suitable work around for David's recent headaches due to my
assumption that the issue wasn't that big a deal :s)
