I was about to ask, "What is gnus-art-load-hook?"  But then I grep'd
for it in *.el, and there it is, at the very end of gnus-art.el.

At first, I thought it was named very badly.  All other
article-related hooks are named gnus-article-*-hook.  Then I realized
this isn't a normal article hook; there's a whole slew of these
per-file load-time hooks:

[1061] [09:51:46] cinnamon:~/Emacs/gnus/lisp> grep '^(run-hook' *.el
earcon.el:(run-hooks 'earcon-load-hook)
gnus-art.el:(run-hooks 'gnus-art-load-hook)
gnus-audio.el:(run-hooks 'gnus-audio-load-hook)
gnus-setup.el:(run-hooks 'gnus-setup-load-hook)
gnus-sum.el:(run-hooks 'gnus-sum-load-hook)
message.el:(run-hooks 'message-load-hook)
nnheader.el:(run-hooks 'nnheader-load-hook)
nnmail.el:(run-hooks 'nnmail-load-hook)

None of them are documented in the manual.  Hm.  "Naughty, naughty."
