/**
 * Register a callback as an Elgg event handler.
 *
 * Events are emitted by Elgg when certain actions occur.  Plugins
 * can respond to these events or halt them completely by registering a handler
 * as a callback to an event.  Multiple handlers can be registered for
 * the same event and will be executed in order of $priority.  Any handler
 * returning false will halt the execution chain.
 *
 * This function is called with the event name, event type, and handler callback name.
 * Setting the optional $priority allows plugin authors to specify when the
 * callback should be run.  Priorities for plugins should be 1-1000.
 *
 * The callback is passed 3 arguments when called: $event, $type, and optional $params.
 *
 * $event is the name of event being emitted.
 * $type is the type of event or object concerned.
 * $params is an optional parameter passed that can include a related object.  See
 * specific event documentation for details on which events pass what parameteres.
 *
 * @tip If a priority isn't specified it is determined by the order the handler was
 * registered relative to the event and type.  For plugins, this generally means
 * the earlier the plugin is in the load order, the earlier the priorities are for
 * any event handlers.
 *
 * @tip $event and $object_type can use the special keyword 'all'.  Handler callbacks registered
 * with $event = all will be called for all events of type $object_type.  Similarly,
 * callbacks registered with $object_type = all will be called for all events of type
 * $event, regardless of $object_type.  If $event and $object_type both are 'all', the
 * handler callback will be called for all events.
 *
 * @tip Event handler callbacks are considered in the follow order:
 *  - Specific registration where 'all' isn't used.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for $event only.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for $type only.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for both.
 *
 * @warning If you use the 'all' keyword, you must have logic in the handler callback to
 * test the passed parameters before taking an action.
 *
 * @tip When referring to events, the preferred syntax is "event, type".
 *

/**
 * Register a callback as a plugin hook handler.
 *
 * Plugin hooks allow developers to losely couple plugins and features by
 * repsonding to and emitting {@link elgg_trigger_plugin_hook()} customizable hooks.
 * Handler callbacks can respond to the hook, change the details of the hook, or
 * ignore it.
 *
 * Multiple handlers can be registered for a plugin hook, and each callback
 * is called in order of priority.  If the return value of a handler is not
 * null, that value is passed to the next callback in the call stack.  When all
 * callbacks have been run, the final value is passed back to the caller
 * via {@link elgg_trigger_plugin_hook()}.
 *
 * Similar to Elgg Events, plugin hook handler callbacks are registered by passing
 * a hook, a type, and a priority.
 *
 * The callback is passed 4 arguments when called: $hook, $type, $value, and $params.
 *
 *  - str $hook The name of the hook.
 *  - str $type The type of hook.
 *  - mixed $value The return value of the last handler or the default
 *  value if no other handlers have been called.
 *  - mixed $params An optional array of parameters.  Used to provide additional
 *  information to plugins.
 *
 * @internal Plugin hooks are stored in $CONFIG->hooks as:
 * <code>
 * $CONFIG->hooks[$hook][$type][$priority] = $callback;
 * </code>
 *
 * @tip Plugin hooks are similar to Elgg Events in that Elgg emits
 * a plugin hook when certain actions occur, but a plugin hook allows you to alter the
 * parameters, as well as halt execution.
 *
 * @tip If a priority isn't specified it is determined by the order the handler was
 * registered relative to the event and type.  For plugins, this generally means
 * the earlier the plugin is in the load order, the earlier the priorities are for
 * any event handlers.
 *
 * @tip Like Elgg Events, $hook and $type can use the special keyword 'all'.
 * Handler callbacks registered with $hook = all will be called for all hooks
 * of type $type.  Similarly, handlers registered with $type = all will be
 * called for all hooks of type $event, regardless of $object_type.  If $hook
 * and $type both are 'all', the handler will be called for all hooks.
 *
 * @tip Plugin hooks are sometimes used to gather lists from plugins.  This is
 * usually done by pushing elements into an array passed in $params.  Be sure
 * to append to and then return $value so you don't overwrite other plugin's
 * values.
 *
 * @warning Unlike Elgg Events, a handler that returns false will NOT halt the
 * execution chain.
 *
 * @param string   $hook     The name of the hook
 * @param string   $type     The type of the hook
 * @param callback $callback The name of a valid function or an array with object and method
 * @param int      $priority The priority - 500 is default, lower numbers called first
 *
 * @return bool
 *
 * @example hooks/register/basic.php Registering for a plugin hook and examining the variables.
 * @example hooks/register/advanced.php Registering for a plugin hook and changing the params.
