[FR] Provide hook for redefinition of `\ltx@label` in `nameref`
\ltx@label
is an internal macro from amsmath
which is meant to store the "original" definition of \label
for use in amsmath
math environments. Since nameref
redefines \label
itself, it provides support for amsmath
by doing \let\ltx@label\label
(in nameref.dtx
current line 227) after that redefinition has taken place. Furthermore, given that hyperref
is meant to be loaded very late, and that it sets nameref
to be required at begindocument
, this redefinition comes very very late, so it is difficult not to be trampled by it, if one is trying to redefine it. Either recommend loading nameref
first as is the usual hyperref
suggestion (and if this was completely safe, I doubt hyperref
would be set to load nameref
so late), or get in the queue of "those who want to be loaded after hyperref
".
I'm trying to redefine \ltx@label
myself in a package I'm preparing, so that I could add amsmath
support, and I'd have to do it after nameref
does its job, of course. Given that now we have the new hook management system in place, would hyperref
consider the possibility of making this redefinition in a dedicated hook? If that would be possible, it'd be great, so that I could add this support in a reliable and civil manner, and it would be much appreciated.
A word about this particular macro. As said, it is an internal macro from amsmath
and, even though it clearly is not an "undisputed area", it is not nearly as busy as the core job of nameref
. I have grepped my TeXLive tree and there are some of redefinitions of if but, as far as I can tell, the most relevant cases are nameref
and cleveref
.
