(add-hook) Added optional arg to cause hook to be appended rather than

prepended to the hook list.  This obviates the 23 different hook-bashing
packages in LCD.

(get-word) Added.  Lots of help and default-generator functions in LCD use
it, and it's remarkably difficult to get right, especially given the new
syntax primitives.
