As you can guess, I was testing as I was editing the message. As always,
the code is the truth™.

For the record, here is what I discovered:
- the prepare hook is run even when cancelling
- the before hook is run with the buffer widened, but the point is still
in the same position as when confirming pointer
- when the after hook is run, I did not get access to the captured data
(I may have done it wrong, but since the before hook worked, I did not
look further)

Best,

Alan
