Way to tell what hooks are supported

Description

As hooks are added, and people write plugins to support them, sometimes it can be tricky, figuring out what hooks were added when, and doing version comparisons to figure out if the hook is going to work.

This patch adds an array of all the hooks and filters I could find. It also adds the dynamic option_ and pre_option_ hooks as well as the *_template ones. That should pretty much cover it except for the dynamic admin menu stuff which is kind of making me crosseyed, and doesn't really matter for this purpose.

There is also a function: hook_exists('hook_name'); It returns true or false.

Hooks are stored in the $wp_hooks array, which is set in vars.php (I thought this was appropriate.

Obviously, hooks aren't going to add themselves to this list, so we'll need to make sure to add to this list as we add hooks! I don't think this will be a problem.

Please feel free to look over the code and see if I misspelled anything or missed any hooks.

This seems useful. WordPress could do a bit more with reflection-like functions such as this.

Hi Mark, is this bug still relevant? If it is, does the patch need updating?

It has not been updated in a year and currently targets milestone 1.5.1 .

There was some interest, as I recall, but my creation of the WordPress Hooks Database has somewhat lessened its importance, so I'm willing to close it. As always, if someone has a good argument for it, feel free to make your case here.
