This does not seem like an improvement to me. It would be confusing
(what happens with multiple functions) and turn a simple boolean into a
string (with more possibility for typos, etc.).

Those can trivially have their own questions that you can preseed, and
it will be common for them to require more than a simple boolean anyway,
so your proposed hook would generally not be sufficient.
