etc/NEWS says:

** Function `delete-frame' runs `delete-frame-hook' before actually
deleting the frame.  The hook is called with one arg, the frame
being deleted.


However, `delete-frame-hook' isn't presently defined as a variable.
`delete-frame' does run the hook if you define it.

Should it be defined?  One possible problem is that tooltips are
frames that are deleted when they disappear.  Users may not expect the
hook to be run then.

Also, should it be renamed to `delete-frame-functions' because it is
an abnormal hook ?
