-----------
Commands can be registred to be executed when certain events arise. To register a hook use the following command:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
*scope* can be one of *global*, *buffer* or *window*.
*command* is a string containing the commands to execute when the hook is called.
For example to automatically use line numbering with .cc files, use the following command:
----------------------------------------------------
hook global WinCreate .*\.cc %{ addhl number_lines }
