It could probably be added to compile's docstring, indeed.
But it should stay out of the customization group since it's an
elisp-level functionality, unless we can come up with the good suggestions
of functions to put on that hook.

Not all the hooks are documented in dosctrings.  Maybe they should, but
until then I recommend checking the elisp code (or apropos
"foo-.*-\(hook\|functions?\)").
