Why isn't there a hook that runs when a window is created?

Why isn't there a hook that runs when a window is created?

[Leo]

Hello,

I know something can be achieved using window-configuration-change-hook
or window-size-change-functions but they are not as straightforward as I
would like.

For example there is after-make-frame-functions but not one for window
specifically. Is there any reason? Thanks.

I guess that the main reason is that noone's needed it yet.
What do you need it for?

Me neither except I just re-discovered window-local variables (ie window
parameters) and most times I want to set them up when new ones are
created. A hook like this would be handy.

I'd still like to hear of concrete cases first.
