local-after-save-hook?

[Sam Steingold]

There is a buffer-local hook `local-write-file-hooks' (which is called
before writing the file) but no `local-after-save-hook' (called after
the file is written).  Why?

I can emulate this behavior:

(defun my-after-save-hook-function ()
  do something useful
  (remove-hook 'after-save-hook 'my-after-save-hook-function))

(add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
  (lambda () (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'my-after-save-hook-function)))

but I would prefer to have `local-after-save-hook'

do you mind if I add it?

Because local-write-file-hooks should disappear.
Just use the LOCAL argument to `add-hook' instead.

PS: I have a patch to rename those *-file-*-hooks to *-file-*-hook or
    *-file-*-function to better follow the naming convention.  Now that
    we have defvaralias, we can do this switch with 100% backward
    compatibility.  Any interest ?

That seems like a good idea.  Please do it.
