post-command-hook is often used for "one-time code", actually (e.g. for
define-globalized-minor-mode).

Have you ever looked at the Elisp code out there ;-)?

I certainly wouldn't. Especially not the maintainers.

Ah, yes, some way to force "run it here rather than elsewhere" would
be elegant. The problem, is how to implement it in a way that's not
completely disgusting.
The :after-hook has the advantage of being straightforward.
If we want to fix it for 24.1, "straightforward" is important.
Patch welcome, either way,
Stefan
