Both (elisp) `Window Hooks' and the doc string talk about "the

buffer-local part of this hook".

 

I don't know what that means.  Since when does a hook have "parts", one

of which is the "buffer-local part"?

 

Node (elisp) `Hooks' says nothing about any "local" or other "part" of a

hook.  Searching for "local" there finds only (1) mention that a major

mode overrides buffer-local variable assignments and (2) mention that

you can "You can add hooks either globally or buffer-locally".

 

I'm really wondering what could possibly be meant by this doc.  This

strange language was apparently introduced in Emacs 23.  I have no idea

what it is trying to say.  Please clarify this doc.
