Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 I'm not sure I'd call centralizing the documentation a benefit since we're
 talking about a huge variety of hooks and contexts – they're very
 deliberately documented (and parsed) individually for this reason.

 We can bend the hooks API to a certain point, but at some point it gets
 pretty close to abusing the original intent.

 That said, I wonder if maybe moving completely away from the "apply
 filters" vernacular altogether would help globally clarify the intent
 rather than further confuse the space of actions and filters.


 e.g.

 {{{
 #!php
 if ( wp_short_circuit( 'tag_name', $value ) {
     return $value;
 }
 }}}
