I have a use case where I have a small library of setup_hook functions for various purposes that are used by multiple projects.  Some projects may want to use more than one of these setup_hooks.

I can certainly create a wrapper hook for each function that calls all the necessary hooks.  But that gets a little tedious and seems unnecessary.  In this use case it would be fine if I could just list a set of setup_hooks to be executed in sequence.

It is, of course, up the developer to be sure that none of these setup_hooks have conflicting actions.

As a temporary workaround I wrote a setup_hook called chain_setup_hooks.  I then looks for an option called "setup_hooks" which behaves as I've described.  This works fine, though I don't see why setup_hook shouldn't allow multiple values to begin with.

I can’t see why not.  Would you like to work on a patch?

Great!  I'll add a patch shortly.

Adds support for multiple setup_hooks and updates the docs.

For now I left the option name as "setup_hook", though it might make sense to rename it to "setup_hooks" for consistency's sake.

Here's an update with tests.  It should be applied after my patch for issue11595.

Done.

The tests were failing on builbots with an ASCII locale.  The config files have to be opened with an explicit encoding='utf-8' argument.  Let’s remember it for the future :)

Good to know! The majority of my development is still on 2.x so it's easy to forget things like that.
