Review request for 6829503

[Martin Buchholz]

Thanks for your quick response on this.

A quick review says: looks good to me.
Someone should give it a more thorough review.

The solution of allowing shutdown hooks of a particular type to be added
during shutdown before that slot is reached is clever.

I'm sure there are use cases for users to be able to do the same thing
with their own shutdown hooks, but it would be tricky to provide such
a facility in a clean way.  How do you manage the order of independently
developed shutdown hooks?  Probably still a research problem.

the last shutdown hook to invoke.

the last shutdown hook to be invoked.
