Huh! I swear it did last time I checked it. Stupid eyes.

Forgetting to include the prefix gives immediate results: nothing happens. Forgetting to specify nohook, on the other hand, can give weird bugs which might not be readily apparent.

In addition, if you are writing "filter_x", you'd be looking at the source to see whether it's an action or a filter anyway, so I don't see that as a problem.

It's the opposite of a magical convention, specifically because you are writing exactly what you want filtered.

Defaulting to implicit is IMHO a bad idea. If you are going to support implicit hooking, I think explicit should still be the default. Apologies for misrepresenting your position though, I've added a footnote.

As I said, I'm not against magic, but I think it should be explicit.

Regarding prefixing with `action_` or `filter_`, what problems do you forsee regarding that?

Ah, didn't realise that. Updated the post.

I already use WordPress for iPhone. :P

Ooh, nice catch! Remind me to fix this ASAP. Silly reddit.

If you hit any problems, let me know down here in the comments.

YA WAY

You can comment too!
