addHook -- add a hook function to an object for later processing

Synopsis

Usage:

addHook(key, hook)

addHook(store, key, hook)
Inputs:
- key, a sequence or a symbol,
- hook, a function,
- store, a mutable hash table,
Optional inputs:
- Strategy => a thing, default value null, specifies the name for the hook
Consequences:
- the function hook is added to the (possibly absent) hash table of hooks, which is either stored in the mutable hash table store or under the youngest Type T listed in the method key key. In the latter case, the hash table is either stored in T.Hooks#key if T is mutable, or in T.cache.Hooks#key otherwise. If no appropriate object is found, or if key is a Symbol, then the hook is stored under the hash table GlobalHookStore

Description

For an explanation and examples of hooks see using hooks.
