I didn't receive any reply about this. If the patch is correct, can it be
applied?
> 1. activate-mark-hook and deactivate-mark-hook do not have docstrings,
> even though they are documented in the Emacs Lisp reference manual (Elisp
> -> Markers -> The Mark).
>
> 2. If push-mark-command is run with no prefix arg and mark already set at
> the current position, it activates the mark, but fails to run
> activate-mark-hook. I noticed this because I have the following in my
> `.emacs':
>
> (transient-mark-mode t)
> (add-hook 'deactivate-mark-hook '(lambda () (setq cursor-type t)))
> (add-hook 'activate-mark-hook '(lambda () (setq cursor-type 'bar)))
>
> If I type C-SPC C-g C-SPC, the hook is not run on the second invocation of
> C-g, and the cursor doesn't change.
