It would not be hard to write a function to remove, from a hook,
any lambda expression that has a certain symbol as its name.
(memq SYMBOL LAMBDAEXP) can test whether LAMBDAEXP has the name SYMBOL.

We could make remove-hook do this if the supplied argument is a symbol
with no function definition, or whatever other interface is desirable.

It wouldn't be hard to do this with doc strings either.
