I know, I mean I checked the code and see the details. What I do not
understand is the overall picture.
So if you do a step back and remove in your mind all this
redefinitions and assume a fresh, unchanged \document command.
Which tasks do you have to do when you encounter \begin{document} and
which when you encounter \document?
Which of them can you do with the normal hooks?
Which of them can't you do and why not? What fails?
