-(defmacro doom-modeline-add-hook! (&rest args)
-  "A convenience macro for `add-hook'. Takes, in order:
-  1. Optional properties :local and/or :append, which will make the hook
-     buffer-local or append to the list of hooks (respectively),
-  2. The hooks: either an unquoted major mode, an unquoted list of major-modes,
-     a quoted hook variable or a quoted list of hook variables. If unquoted, the
-     hooks will be resolved by appending -hook to each symbol.
-  3. A function, list of functions, or body forms to be wrapped in a lambda.
-Examples:
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! 'some-mode-hook 'enable-something)   (same as `add-hook')
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! some-mode '(enable-something and-another))
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! '(one-mode-hook second-mode-hook) 'enable-something)
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! :append (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! :local (one-mode second-mode) 'enable-something)
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! (one-mode second-mode) (setq v 5) (setq a 2))
-    (doom-modeline-add-hook! :append :local (one-mode second-mode) (setq v 5) (setq a 2))
-Body forms can access the hook's arguments through the let-bound variable
-`args'."
