So I'll stop calling it the hook now. Anyway, it's not happening in some circumstances. It has been a long time since I thought about your patch, and I don't remember all the details of the issue. What exactly is "not happening", and what are the circumstances? Can you specify a test case? * Maybe might want an interprogram-highlight-function to indirect through like interprogram-[cut|paste]-function, rather than embedding a direct call to x-set-selection, which I presume doesn't work on non-X11 ? I am lost here. There is no such thing as interprogram-highlight-function, so perhaps your proposal is to add it, but I can't understand what you want it to do, or why.
