I'm not sure how difficult this would be (it's not trivial for sure),
but IMO it definitely seems to make a lot of sense to provide such a
hook function.

A semi-workable solution might be to add the hook to call-interactively
[which implements the (interactive ...) form] and let it pass the
callint_message to the prompt hook function [together with the arg type],

Something like this

     if (callint_message[0] && !NILP (Vinteractive_prompt_function))
        call2 (Vinteractive_prompt_function,
               build_string (callint_message),
               make_number (*tem));

added before:

      switch (*tem)
        {
        case 'a':               /* Symbol defined as a function */
