 Replying to [comment:4 jrf]:
 > What about calling things by what they are ? `$tag` becomes `$hook_name`
 and the callback function hooked into it becomes `$callback` or
 `$callback_function`.

 Sorry I missed this comment. While the terminology I proposed makes sense
 in my head, I can see that it's not necessarily any clearer than what we
 have currently. I think you're right that `$hook` or `$hook_name` combined
 with `$callback` is clearer.

 I'll work on a new PR.
