It's possible, but I think that sounds... very ambitious. But I could
see the case for saying something general like "customising hook
variables should happen before loading .emacs, because that will make
add-hook work", but even that would be controversial. (Customising a
hook sets the variable to a specific value; it doesn't add functions.)
