To sum up, hooks are treated like any other variable when loading the
`custom-file', the hook variables are just set to the saved values.

These saved values are not checked in any sense.  If they include
functions that were defined when you saved the hook value, but not
defined when restoring it, you'll get an error when you run the hook.
So be careful with what you save.
