-HOOK should be a symbol, a hook variable. If HOOK has a non-nil
-value, that value may be a function or a list of functions to be
-called to run the hook. If the value is a function, it is called with
-the given arguments and its return value is returned.
-If it is a list of functions, those functions are called, in order,
-with the given arguments ARGS, until one of them
-returns a non-nil value. Then we return that value.
-However, if they all return nil, we return nil.
+HOOK should be a symbol, a hook variable. The value of HOOK
+may be nil, a function, or a list of functions. Call each
+function in order with arguments ARGS, stopping at the first
+one that returns non-nil, and return that value. Otherwise (if
+all functions return nil, or if there are no functions to call),
+return nil.
