As a man page reader I'm only interested in the present features of the command up here. Breaking changes could be mentioned in a HISTORY section, and missing critical features in a BUGS section at the bottom.

I assume the last sentence applies to almost all programs, and could be safely removed.

Dash dash (or EoO) is mandatory unless parse_options() left no arguments, contrary to what the documentation says above. Update the doc above?

So run_hooks(), which is introduced later in this patch, can find a hook as well, but would do so silently?

This is the only find_hook() call introduced by this patch. Does run_hooks() really posses an unused hook-finding capability?

What kind of expanding is it doing without? I was expecting the arguments to passed on verbatim before reading this comment, so it leaves me wondering what I'm missing.

A single hook is picked.

A single process (jobs == 1) is used to run a single hook. Why use run_processes_parallel_tr2() for that instead of run_command()? The latter would require a lot less code to achieve the same outcome, no?

None of the patches in this series extend this structure. Why not use a bare string directly?

If it runs one hook, why is it called run_hooks(), plural?
