What can anyone tell me about this symbol, whose value is presumably
a function or a list of functions. The only use I see of it in the
Emacs code is as a `delete-selection' TYPE value. For example:
(put 'self-insert-command 'delete-selection
(lambda ()
(not (run-hook-with-args-until-success
'self-insert-uses-region-functions))))
(Similarly, for some other functions besides `self-insert-command'.)
That's fine (hook variables need not be defined or documented), but it
seems like this hook, with such an evocative name ;-), might have some
intended meaning beyond use by `delete-selection-mode'. (Else why
"use-region" instead of something about delete-selection?)
This seems to have been introduced without any real use of it, so far.
So I'm curious what the intention is.

Oh, nevermind. I guess this was introduced as part of that silly kludge
to get `electric-pair-mode' to play well with `delete-selection-mode'.
But please do let me know if there is something else involved.

But see bug #11520. Two years ago, Stefan said this:

The commit is presumably still missing. The situation is still "not normal".
