I'm very sorry, and it serves me right to learn to keep quiet. :-( Indeed,
it can be interpreted both ways. It's the use of "This command"
possibly refering to a different command from the previous sentence
also using "This command", that makes it ambiguous, IMHO; but
the ':' may point out that it is refering to the following command.
How about we close this issue with changing the output to:
This command has the following hook (or hooks) defined:
The following command is run before: %s (pre hook)
The following command is run after : %s (post hook)
?
