Hooks
=====
A *hook* is a list of functions that are executed when certain events
happen. Hooks are modified with the Emacs function ``add-hook``.
Evil provides entry and exit hooks for all its states. For example,
when switching from normal state to insert state, all functions in
``evil-normal-state-exit-hook`` and ``evil-insert-state-entry-hook``
are executed.
It is guaranteed that the exit hook will be executed before the entry
hook on all state switches.
During the hook execution, the variables ``evil-next-state`` and
``evil-previous-state`` contain information about the states being
switched to and from, respectively.
