 The `get_header` and `get_footer` action hook Docblocks both say "The hook
 allows a specific footer/header template file to be used in place of the
 default footer template file."

 This is not entirely accurate. While the hooks allow you to do something
 before the behavior of `get_header()` or `get_footer()`, it does not allow
 you to prevent the default output of these functions as the description
 suggests.
